The Galloping Galette & Mulberry Riverwalk
The trail is wide, easy to follow, relatively flat, and the perfect way to spend a beautiful afternoon.
Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge
I can’t wait to go back to Amicalola – it’s one of the parks that I visit again and again. I love that every trip feels a little different than the last, and there are always new and wonderful things to do because the area has so many attractions.
Helton Creek Falls
Helton Creek is my favorite kind of falls – loud, imposing, stacked rock that rises into the sky, the kind of place that I could spend for hours, listening to the water as it plunges into the pool below.

It’s small enough to be manageable, but still offers plenty to see and do when the weather is nice.
Stoney-Baynard Ruins
The plantation is situated in a small slice land similar to a park, surrounded by beautiful modern homes. It would be really easy to drive right by it, and not even know what the trees concealed!
