Ocmulgee National Monument Loop

05/29/23

This is totally a hidden gem! It is slated to become the next national park so visit now before the crowds. Really interesting visitor center with lots of historical information presented in a fun way. The Rangers will answer any questions you have about the history of the area and their inhabitants. There are several nature trails on the grounds, as well as a completely paved walk to the major points of interest. As of now it is free admission however, once it becomes a national park, there will be an entrance fee. Even the visitors center itself is historical as it was built In the 40’s by the CCC! Appreciated the clean restrooms and the COLD water from the water bottle filling station!

High Falls Loop

Parking areas are on the opposite side of the road where the trailhead is located and the fee is $5. If paying for parking isn't in your agenda, there is a gas station down the road on the same side as the trailhead where free parking is occasionally available. The trail begins off High Falls road, indicated by a sign. At the beginning, the trail descends along several wooden stairs. There are...

Arabia Mountain

The trail begins right off Klondike Road by the parking lot with restrooms, which is almost impossible to miss. Upon arriving, you begin a steady climb along the barren rock face. At this point, keep an eye out for the prominent cairns to guide you up and down the mountain. The trail itself is only 1.3 miles, but I would encourage you to explore the surrounding area once you reach the peak. At...

Hike and Camp the Big Poplar Loop , F.D. Roosevelt SP

We camped a few nights in the F.D. Roosevelt campground in our Airstream before setting out for two nights in the backcountry. Our first stop was at the Visitor Center to talk with the ranger and plan our route. Some of the campsites are limited and must be reserved in advance with the ranger, so we figured we needed to see what was available.The ranger on duty was incredibly helpful providing ...

Stargaze at Deerlick Astronomy Village

Before any trip I take I pull up the dark sky map: darksitefinder.com. This incredible tool is great in finding low light pollution areas nearby.However, when I don't feel like driving many hours away on dirt roads, this is a great alternative in the Southeast. Spend a night with professional and amateur astronomers at Deerlick Astronomy Village. Whether you are looking to image deep space obj...

Hike around the Doll's Head Trail At Constitution Lakes Park

Locating the entrance to Constitution Lakes Park is the hardest part of this hike. There's no specific address to take you to the parking lot, but if you find South River Industrial Boulevard, you'll see the sign for Constitution Lakes Park on your right. Parking is free and there are two trails to choose from that will lead you to the same place. Once you head down the trail, you may start...

Those who want to climb Stone Mountain should use the Walk-up Mountain Trail located near the gate along Robert E. Lee Blvd. To enter the park, y...
