The 10 Best Other Outdoor Activities in Georgia, Georgia

November 16, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

Burnt Pine Plantation

Burnt Pine Plantation features a 26 bed lodge for guests who come to enjoy the old fashioned southern quail hunting. For over 39 years we have been producing lasting memories. It's what quail hunting used to be in the "Old South" and still is at Burnt Pine. Excellent dog work, fast flying quail, along with great food and upscale lodging makes it a perfect get away. Only one hour east of Atlanta

Chris is an outstanding guide. He knows the Hooch like the back of his hand, his fly fishing knowledge & technique is outstanding and a great guide to book with. We fished the river hard in harsh conditions and managed to boat 4 browns and 1 rainbow. Thanks for 2 great days on the hooch. See you in the summer.
