Hiking
JMP offers over 20 miles of trails, each with varying degrees of difficulty. These trails will expose you to a diversity of habitats supporting fascinating fauna and flora.
Fishing
The plantation's NE boundary is the Little Ogeechee River, and its East boundary is the 225-acre Hamburg State Park Lake. This lake is a renowned fishing location. You can fish from the bank, use one of the kayaks, or rent a Jon boat with a trolling motor. For Georgia laws and regulations, go to http://georgiawildlife.dnr.state.ga.us/fishing.aspx.
Kayaking
Hamburg Lake is a great place to explore using one of our three stable-style Kayaks. Beginning kayakers will appreciate the 10-horsepower boat motor limit, which provides a smooth surface to enjoy. Using the kayak to fish lets you get into those famous lily pads and Big-Mouth Bass hiding spots.
Birding
Over thirty varieties of birds have been identified in this area of Georgia. See how many you can locate on this parcel.
Star gazing
It takes a remote location uninfluenced by urban lights to truly get the most from your time stargazing. JMP offers this opportunity so bring your telescopes and plan this as part of your family retreat.
