In Georgia, you’ll find that adventure opportunities are around every corner. Spend your days exploring the geological formations of Lumpkin’s “Little Grand Canyon” at Providence Canyon State Park. Looking for an adventure the whole family can appreciate? Enjoy more than 58 high-octane, family-friendly rides at Valdosta’s Wild Adventures theme park.
Travel to the Northeast Georgia Mountains and explore a number of state parks including Unicoi, Vogel, Fort Mountain, Cloudland Canyon and Black Rock Mountain – they’re ideal venues for a secluded getaway. For an adventure rooted in the past, head farther south and experience 12,000 years of Native American history as you explore the 702-acre Ocmulgee National Monument in Macon.
On Georgia’s Coast, go underwater to find an aquatic hidden gem – Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary. Scuba dive around the sandstone reef and discover the flourishing underwater ecosystem that thrives there. If an above water adventure is more your speed, then slip a kayak into the water along the Cumberland Island coast and enjoy a day of paddling. Inland kayaking on the Altamaha and Ogeechee rivers provides you with a thrilling adventure of wildlife viewing and coastal exploration.
