Posted on: Wednesday, 15 July 2009, 07:09 CDT

MCRAE, Ga., July 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Ocmulgee State Park and Lodge offers every company an affordable retreat and meeting space that redefines what a meeting can be on a budget, one settled on a glistening lake nestled in a forest with unexpected amenities and options. The destination park offers a natural resort experience with lodge and conference center, private cottages, a scenic lake, swimming pool, lighted tennis courts, an 18-hole golf course, and more without the extensive travels costs.

Little Ocmulgee's 60-room lodge features a 3,867-square-foot conference center. The first feature guests notice upon arrival is the towering windows in the lobby that overlook the beautifully manicured greens of the Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play" 4-star rated 18-hole Wallace Adams Golf Course. The inviting space is well-equipped with wireless Internet service and audio/visual equipment along with rooms that can be configured in multiple ways to seat 210 people. Little Ocmulgee State Park also offers ten fully-equipped cottages providing guests an independent lodging experience. A choice between traditional hotel-style rooms in the lodge or private cottages gives business groups options that meet their specific needs. A designated conference coordinator works closely with company meeting planners to manage the agenda, allowing the meeting participants to fully focus on their company goals.

On-site, full-service catering is available for every meal. The variety of catering options is as diverse as the guests and their tastes. Little Ocmulgee's lodge can prepare plated dishes and theme buffets, snacks for meeting breaks and box lunches for picnics by the lake. Special requests such as restricted and budget-friendly diets are easily accommodated. The lodge can host banquets for 140 people, and receptions for as many as 200 people. For restaurant dining, the Fairway Grill, with its breathtaking views, seats 110 people for a la carte and buffet-style meals, and can host a private dinner for up to 28 people.

Surrounded by 1,277 acres of southern piedmont forest, Little Ocmulgee State Park is a tribute to Georgia's inland coastal region and offers a chance for work groups to relax after a day's training or planning together. When the workday ends, outdoor activities offer a variety of experiences. Magnolia trees draped in feathery Spanish moss lead guests to the 265-acre lake where guests can explore walking trails. Or for those who want their water without the work, the swimming pool provides a welcome respite for relaxation. Or if the competition keeps going after the work day ends, guest can indulge in a game of outdoor volleyball, tennis, miniature golf or play a "round of 18" on the Wallace Adams Gold Course. With plenty of space for work and play, Little Ocmulgee State Park and Lodge offers an experience unlike any other.
