Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park

A 1/4th mile hike through woods connecting the Trading Post to the Funeral Mound.

This trail starts at the Trading Post site on the side closest to the railroad bridge. It descends to a small creek and winds through a small area of woodland to reach the Funeral Mound parking lot. Early Creek Indians (late 1600's) are believed to have occupied this area prior to the Yamassee War of 1715.
