Perfect adventure destination

Georgia may be an excellent destination for adventure seekers because of its diversified scenery. Prepare your hiking boots, swimming suit, and binoculars for one of Georgia's fantastic outdoor activities! Start your Appalachian Trail trek at Springer Mountain, or climb the state's largest waterfall, Amicalola Falls, at 729 feet for breathtaking views of cascading water. Gather your supplies and make your way to Tallulah Gorge, the two-mile Grand Canyon of the East, for an overview. Take a walk or a bike ride around Atlanta's BeltLine, a 22-mile loop of formerly used railroad tracks that now connect intown neighborhoods.

Whitewater rafting trips on the Chattahoochee or Ocoee rivers in North Georgia or river tubing on the Toccoa River are great ways to cool down. One of Georgia's 16 water trails, the Flint River, offers paddlers breathtaking views of Pine Mountain and the opportunity to race the rapids in the Piedmont. For genuinely breathtaking landscapes, kayak along streams like Georgia's Little Amazon, the Altamaha River.

Further south, fantastic beaches, boating, and wildlife viewing, including dolphins, sea turtles, and more than 400 species of birds, are guaranteed by the 110 miles of coastline and 15 barrier islands (including seldom seen wood storks and painted buntings at Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge). At Okefenokee Swamp Park, take a boat ride to see alligators and other wildlife. Georgia offers hiking, biking, birding, canoeing, rafting, and other outdoor activities for those seeking adventure.
