There are so many places to enjoy being outside around Atlanta, GA. It is one of the things we love best about visiting Atlanta. (With our wild three, a daily outdoor adventure is a necessity.) The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Center offers a Jr. Ranger badge, a lovely riverside walk and plenty of things to …
Wakulla Springs is located just south of Tallahassee, making it a wonderful place to stop if you are between the Panhandle and any other part of Florida.
