Parks Mill Landing, Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide

Where Parks Mill Landing Is Located
Parks Mill Landing is in Putnam County, off Parks Mill Road directly opposite Sugar Creek Marina. Parks Mill Drive and Parks Mill Court are the two roads through the subdivision. Sugar Creek Landing is landlocked — it sits on Parks Mill Road rather than the water — and its houses and streets lie between Parks Mill Landing and the road. You reach the Parks Mill Landing entrance first, and the Sugar Creek Landing entrance a little further on. Cedar Cove and Hickory Point and Fawnfield come before both of them along the same road.

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