Ocmulgee National Monument Loop Reviews
A hidden gem near Macon! Explore 12,000 years of Native American history with ancient mounds, an Earth Lodge you can enter, and 8 miles of peaceful trails. Perfect for a quick history lesson with scenic wetlands and forest vibes. Saw deer and lots of birds around rhe river and marshland! Pro tip: Visit early for quiet trails and check out the museum. Open year-round, free entry with your America the Beautiful Pass.

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!
