The 8 Best Nature & Wildlife Areas in Atlanta, Georgia (GA)
Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

Great little urban park with a mixture of boardwalks, grevel and dirt trails for a couple of mile. Several small lakes along the trail that can be fished in. Trails were amenable to walkers, joggers and bikers. Dolls head trail has a variety of interesting interpretations of the world using a variety of dolls and media to express the artists views. Nice, quite park once you get away from the parking lot and road noise. Most trails were in the shade. Be careful of the poison ivy that is abundant and can be close to if not on some of the trails. Entrance signs along the main road are nonexistent so look atcthe map to find the entrance road.

The Cascade Nature Preserve is an odd place. To find such a beautiful, peaceful nature trail within a normal residential area, is absolutely phenomenal! Great for individuals or families, the nature walk/trails offer covered, shaded walking trails, along several waterways. To view and listen to a natural spring and waterfall, provides a calming, spiritual experience. I observed deer and plenty of nature, yet undisturbed by the guest. There are a variety of trails, which can provide a real workout to those who are seeking it - the trails are hilly, so be prepared to walk up and down the trails. There is also a small seating/outside classroom along the creek, which is a nice touch. Just outside of the parking lot, are a couple of picnic tables and greenspace for usage. Although it's not huge place, it provides a huge experience, for those who want it. And it's all FREE!
