Hopefully you aren’t scared of alligators! One of Georgia’s 7 natural wonders, Stephen C. Foster Park is the primary location for the Okefenokee Swamp. Go here to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and wildlife that photographers travel to capture. Home to alligators, turtles, raccoons, black bears and more, Okefenokee Swamp is a MUST GO.

 

2. Waterfalls

You have to visit a waterfall this year. There are seven Georgia State Parks that have beautiful waterfalls for guests to enjoy. At 729 feet, Amicalola Falls is the tallest cascading waterfall in the Southeast. Cloudland Canyon has two waterfalls that cascade over layers of sandstone and shale into pools below. Guests can also discover these wonders of nature at Fort Mountain, Black Rock Mountain, High Falls, Tallulah Gorge and Vogel state parks.

 

3. Georgia’s Grand Canyon

Providence Canyon also known as the “Little Grand Canyon” is a testament to the power of man’s influence on the land. Massive gullies as deep as 150 feet were caused simply by poor farming practices during the 1800s, yet today they make some of the prettiest photographs within the state.

The coast of Georgia looks like something out of a fairy tale. If you haven’t been, attempt to travel any island on Georgia’s coast. For instance, Sapelo Island’s Reynolds Mansion is a great place for a group escape. It features marbles sculptures, murals, a bowling alley, billiards & a library. There’s also the beautiful Cumberland Island, Tybee Island, St. Simons Island & Jekyll Island.

 

5. Take a Hike
