Lincoln County

Lincoln County is the site of the 447-acre Elijah Clark State Park which is located on the western shore of Clarks Hill Lake. The county borders 380 miles of lake shoreline. In addition to boating and fishing activities, a museum in the park offers colonial life demonstrations. Revolutionary War hero Elijah Clarke and his wife are buried in the park.

Price's Store in Lincolnton, established 1897, is one of the oldest authentic general stores still in operation in Georgia.

Lincoln County hosts numerous events and festivals during the year including the Lewis Family Homecoming and Bluegrass Festival, a three-day bluegrass festival in early May featuring nationally known musicians; Old Timers Day and the Town and Country Arts and Crafts Festival are both in October; and a Log Cabin Christmas at Elijah Clark State Park.
