The park lies on a peninsula that juts out into the western area of Newnans Lake and covers just over 16 acres. Much of this land is populated by large cypress trees covered in Spanish moss along with some live oaks, and sabal palms.

We visited Palm Point Nature Park to try our luck at fishing in Newnans Lake which is known for having excellent bank fishing due to the deep water just off shore.

Palm Point is also frequented by bird watching enthusiasts since the park is often visited by migratory or local birds. Some of the species commonly seen include egret, ibis, osprey, bald eagle, heron, cormorant, warblers, barred owl, cuckoo, vireo, loons, woodpeckers, wild turkeys, and summer tanager.
