This is maybe my most favorite place to take the kids. I used to go here when I was little and it was an absolute dream to take my kids to visit last summer.
Sloppy Floyd State Park, Georgia
The Marble Mines hike at Sloppy Floyd State Park has been on our must do list for a while. It is a relatively easy but uphill hike to the mouth of a cave, with a pond and waterfall. There are plenty more extensive trails in the area to explore as well. Sloppy Floyd turned out …
See Rock City. A Georgia Must.
After miles of passing red barns painted with “See Rock City” and the littles yelling out “Let’s go to Rock City” we relented and drove up Lookout Mountain to Rock City Gardens.
