The good the bad and the buggy. A short review of the park.

The good things about this park is that it has plenty of beautiful views. It's also a great place to fish or take graduation or wedding pictures or just sunrise or fall colors photos. The bad things about this park is that despite a book I got that listed it as a trail it really doesn't have a trail. You can walk around the mill and get about a mile of walking done but no trail so don't waste time looking for one. the buggy I’m a bugs favorite person to bite so on a scale of 1 meaning I didn’t get bitten to 10 meaning I was a mosquito, gnat etc. chew toy, this park is a 3. I got followed by a bee and a fly tried to get in my car when I left, but I didn't leave with any bites.

The Parks web page says:

William T. Glower built the current building in 1907. The Starr's Mill site also included a cotton gin and a dynamo that produced electricity for the nearby town of Senoia. The turbine mill ran up until 1959, and although not operating today, it is now restored and owned by the Fayette County Water System. The Fayette County Water System purchased the historic Starr's Mill in February 1991. This purchase included the mill house, dam, and approximately 16 acres of land. It is located on Highway 85 south of Fayetteville and will continue to be used for fishing, family gatherings, and picnics.
