Afternoon at tallulah falls

Dry falls ga

We fly in and out of ATL, today until the 5th. We plan on exploring ATL and Savannah until the 2nd, but arent sure what to do after that. Either to some of the parks I listed below, SC, or a little of both.

-SW: Providence Canyon

-NW: Cloudland Canyon

-North: Amicalola Falls

-NE: Tallulah Gorge, Black Rock Mountain, and Anna Ruby Falls.

Not exactly sure what to expect for weather conditions, are there any parks we shouldnt even bother with at this time of year?

Also, if you have any favorites between the parks I listed or a different personal favorite I would love your input.

Found myself deep in the brambles a couple hours east of atl today. I come to Georgia a lot from Asheville, but usually the upstate. Have yet to see areas affected by Helene here until now, big ol whoops. Still a beautiful adventure!

I want to go on a hike to cloudland canyon on January 1st to start the new year off. I was supposed to go with a friend, but she bailed on me. I still want to go, anyone think it’s a bad idea?

I have gone on hikes before, but closer to home (think: East and west palisades trails). It’s been a while since I’ve been on a trail, but it looks beautiful and I wanna give it a try!

I'm 21 and wanted to know if there are any camping or hiking groups that center around early 20s.

Anybody know any solid 10+ mile hikes that are preferably a loop? Could also be located in the surrounding states (minus great smokies, already have a list for there).

Has anyome here hiked the pine mountian trail, im planning a solo little 2-3 day backpackkng trip around this trail and was wondering what campsites you would recommend/a certain loop you followed!

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I have a severe yellow jacket allergy that I carry an Epi pen for when I hike. This time of year is the absolute best for me to be out in the woods and not have to worry about them, but I love chasing waterfalls and several on my list have water crossings involved. I am almost always solo, so I don't want to mess around with hyperthermia from getting wet.

It occurred to me that duck hunters or other avid outdoors people might have a gear rec I'm unaware of? My current solution is packing an extra pair of trail runners and socks and switching back and forth, which is not optimal. My dry pair inevitably ends up damp, and I'm over it.

Beautiful little pionneer sites and some awesome hiking passing by waterfalls, etc. Anyone else have any experience up there?

We are looking to do a camping trip in April, but pretty much all of the State Parks--at least the decent sites--are already booked. We love camping at DeSoto Falls Recreation Area, but it is so noisy with the traffic and motorcycles. Any ideas for pretty campgrounds in North Georgia with showers that have spacious sites that aren't on top of each other?

Marked “Rental” but does not seem very worn. Some discoloration of the front mesh. Not sure of size. Smells good. No flaking of waterproofing or anything like that. Brain/fanny pack included.

Hey y'all, my boyfriend and I are starting to plan our next trip exploring states we are wanting to settle down in.
We are hoping to connect with individuals that live in the area and are willing to host and or show us around.
We are traveling through north Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Southern Pennsylvania. We are heading out at the start of the new year this January.
We are interested in finding an area with friendly communities (does not have to be an established intentional community) that we can join.
If you are interested in connecting, please send me a personal message and we can set something up!

I find myself about to be homeless but I've spent as much time camping and fishing or hunting in my life as I have sleeping indoors so I'm trying to approach this thing the right way. I want to set up camp, get a month pass for Marta, and use my little mobile camp as a base from which to get a job inside the metro area. Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to be on a river if possible and please don't talk to me about personal safety. I'll be as safe as anybody in Atlanta. trust me. And I'm not saying I'm armed. I'm saying I'm built like that lol

Can anyone tell me a good spot to camp on the river in Roswell area I can get to with Marta bus?

My cousin, a friend, and I are planning a camping trip, and we're looking for a secluded location away from the crowds. However, we've been struggling to find a state park that permits camping in more remote, less designated areas. Does such a place exist? If so, could someone kindly provide the name of the park?

Finally going to camp at Cumberland Island in a few weeks, very excited! I'll be at the Sea Camp and plan on bringing my own cart to haul my gear.

I keep hearing how bad the bugs are, but are they of much concern in December? What can I expect from the weather? I'm assuming not too cold but a little chilly at night.

As far as campfires go, I tend to go through a lot of firewood because I like a big fire. I can't imagine I can bring too much firewood from my cart along with the rest of my gear? Can you purchase firewood from the ferry?

I will try to be brief and succinct but it’s almost a lifetime crammed into a post.

In the 80’s and 90’s I (M54) used to camp almost every weekend in the woods of either Virginia or Georgia. We didn’t have an RV or camper just a tent and a couple of bags.

Fast forward 20+ years, multiple back surgeries, an addiction to painkillers, finding my personal defining moment, quitting 100mcg fentanyl patches cold turkey AND I’m ready to live life again.

My son (15) has seen the pictures and heard the stories but he’s never been out truly camping with his dad. Sure we’ve gone camping as a family but it was in a campground with a fire pit and power (as well as him mom and older sister). But he wants to go with me the way he’s seen in the pictures on my wall. Today I guess that would be called primitive camping and maybe it was called it that back then but to me it was just camping.

But I know laws, public land use, etcetera has changed quite a bit since then and I’ve been out of it so long that when I search the web everything seems to start with the assumption that you’re done this before.

But as far as planning a weekend camping trip with my son in particular with where we can hike, fish, cook our fish, camp and explore where I know where I’m going and what I am permitted or not permitted to do is a new area to me. I’m actually surprised I’m even typing this post as my pride has always stood in the way of me seeking help. (A systematic problem with most men my age it seems but that’s another subreddit and post)

I live in the metro Atlanta area and am willing to drive a few hours. If anyone knows of some parks, forests or any places I can take him just to hike a bit and camp where we want to would be awesome. It doesn’t have be on a river or lake but just some ideas.

I am going to ski in Georgia at the end of February for a few days and want to add to my trip some trail walking. Basically routes of 1-2 days. I know it can be stormy at the mountains, so I am looking for safer options which will still have nice views. Snow is fine but nothing risky. I saw that for example Borjomi-Kharagauli is a nice option, but I have no idea how it is at the winter. I plan to travel alone. Car is optional but better without. Any tips?

Me and my family are trying to go camping and trying to find free spots to do so but having a hard time finding any

Am I allowed to build a fire along the river in the parks in the Marietta and Sandy Springs areas along the river?
