The State of Georgia is feeling the first effects of the arctic front that’s sweeping the nation. To assist homeowners who may lose power and stranded motorists, Georgia State Parks are opening warming stations for public use.
There are three warming stations set up in the Northeast Georgia area at Fort Yargo in Winder, Vogel State Park in Blairsville, and Richard B. Russell State Park in Elberton. There are at least 20 other shelters located at parks across the state.
All shelters have restrooms but no food or bedding. ParkPass fees will be waived for those using warming stations.
To find a full list of warming stations and their availability, please refer to the map and spreadsheet below.
