About Forsyth KOA Journey

Halfway between musically rich Macon and cosmopolitan Atlanta - and with easy access to I-75 - this KOA lies in the heart of Georgia. Though you'd never know it from the quiet country setting, the campground is convenient to the city services of Forsyth and a host of regional attractions. Sample true Southern hospitality in lively villages. Explore lovely lakes, splashing waterfalls and rivers plump with catfish. Snap photos in charming Juliette, where Fried Green Tomatoes was filmed, then cool off on 3,600-acre Lake Juliette. Movie fans can relive Gone with the Wind at Jonesboro's Road to Tara Museum, less than an hour's drive. Visit Macon during its Cherry Blossom Festival for a burst of spring color. Gather your group at KOA's rally center with its full-service kitchen. Basketball, volleyball and pedal boats keep everyone busy. Early spring to late fall (Fridays/Saturdays), the Forsyth KOA Express Train provides free late evening narrated tours of the city of Forsyth. Email: ke123@msn.com. Pool: May 1 - September 30. Max pull thru: 100 feet. Your hosts: Ken & Mary Ann Bowman.

High Falls Loop

Jackson, Georgia

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

Stonecrest, Georgia

4.5

1.52 mi / 89 ft gain

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...

Doll's Head Loop

Atlanta, Georgia

3.5

1.79 mi / 121 ft gain

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 star...

Pine Mountain, Georgia

7.8 mi

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 ...

Stone Mountain sits on the outskirts of downtown Atlanta. Located in the center of Stone Mountain Park, this 1,686 ft. granite mound provides visitors with a challenging cardio workout and excellent panoramic views of the Atlanta metropolitan area. 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...
