One Thing to Get Right: There Are Two Parks Mill Drives

Parks Mill Drive and Parks Mill Court street signs in Parks Mill Landing on Lake Oconee
Parks Mill Drive at Parks Mill Court, the two roads that make up the subdivision.

This definitely confuses many visitors to Lake Oconee. There is a Parks Mill Drive here in Putnam County, and there is another Parks Mill Drive across the lake in Greene County, inside a separate community called Parks Mill Crossing. Two different roads, two different counties, two different subdivisions, nearly identical names.

If you are mailing something, sending a contractor, or pulling comps, check the ZIP code and/or county rather than the street name. It is the kind of small thing that costs somebody a wasted trip.

Both Parks Mill Drives take their name from Park’s Mill, which stood on the river a few miles from here on the Morgan County side. A historical marker for it stands where Parks Mill Road meets Reids Ferry Road. After Union troops burned the mill in 1864, the Parks family rebuilt it in 1866 with partners James Armor and Green Moore. Anyone that knows this area will also recognize the Armor name from roads and subdivisions spread across the area. The families and landowners of the 18th and 19th centuries still impact how we navigate today.

A Closer Look at Parks Mill Landing

The housing stock is a mix of older and somewhat newer construction, though it is worth calibrating what newer means here — for the most part it still lands in the late 1990s. Lots run noticeably larger than in several of the surrounding subdivisions, which is part of why the neighborhood holds its character the way it does.

There is no HOA here, so no mandatory dues and no association restrictions, and correspondingly no shared amenities. What the location gives you instead is Sugar Creek Marina directly across the road — fuel, bait and tackle, and a deli doing breakfast and lunch — along with the Sugar Creek public boat ramp a short distance on.

Like the rest of this pocket, these are Putnam County parcels carrying Buckhead, Georgia mailing addresses.
