CBS SUNDAY MORNING ended a show with video from this park. We were so intrigued that we started…read moreresearching it for our October 2025 road trip. We are so glad we came. It was incredible! We visited the visitor center/gift shop the first day, before it closed at 5. Rangers were friendly and helpful. We got a map for our hike the next day, and bought some provisions for our stay at a Florence Marina State Park cabin up the road. The next day we hiked down the steep, rocky terrain to the signs for all the trails. We chose Canyons 4-5, which were flat, and less wet & less difficult to hike than Canyons 1-3, and other trails. The views were spectacular! We noticed the puddles of water & wondered why some were silvery and bright. When we asked the ranger in the visitor center/gift shop, she didn't know. The hike back up to the visitor center/gift shop required several stops at Boy Scout donated benches. Thank you, Boy Scouts! My asthmatic lungs needed the respites. At the visitor center, we used the boot cleaning mats and hose to wash off the red clay of Ga. On the way out of the park, we stopped at the restrooms on the right of the road. This is where we got the BEST photos! Stop, get out and walk to the fences. You will be thrilled with the view. We were. This is our now favorite park in GA.

I wish we had more time here to explore all of the canyons! It was so unusual and fun to walk…read morethrough! There is loads of shade in the interior of the canyon and water does trickle through so expect to get a smidge wet and dusty from the canyon. The shop was loaded with great merch but the bathroom was out of service for us so everyone had to use the single toilet handicapped room which wasn't exactly great. The parking fee and map etc can be a little confusing so just be sure to go inside to make sure everything is on the up and up. The rim trail runs immediately around the visitor center just follow the fencing to the left to stay around the rim go to the right to go down into the canyon itself. Both are worth it. We spent more time in the canyon :)

Mr. & Mrs. Hatcher were friendly and genuinely concerned for our safety, making us feel right at home. This was definitely one of the nicest campgrounds we've been to, with all the hookups. Though we didn't, you can actually look through all the campsite photos on their website before choosing which one you want, which is awesome. They don't sell firewood, but Mr. Hatcher said we were welcome to pick up dead branches we found, which some places don't allow, and there was plenty of wood! We do have an axe, which was very helpful. Bluff Creek Campground is the perfect inexpensive place to stay and we wish we'd stayed longer!

She seemed irritated that we were paying with a debit card, and when her card machine was slow, she got frustrated and just let us in for free. We went left behind the booth down a back road which lead to the lake. Very nice area with a small dock. Didn't catch any fish though. Overall, we would still come again.

It's pretty hard to miss a hundred foot tall missile parked in a gas station lot alongside the…read morehighway. But here it is. The Martin-Marietta Titan I was the first multi-stage intercontinental Ballistic missile produced for the United States Air Force. Using a liquid oxygen and jet fuel propellant, it was the nuclear deterrent from 1959 to 1962 until it was replaced by the Titan II missile that lasted until 1987. Independent from launch through controlled flight until the ballistic release of the warhead, the warhead would then descend to its target by simple gravity and air resistance. You're not going to find too many of these babies still standing. I assume it's disarmed but you never know. [Review 14052 overall, 1374 of 2020, number 343 in Georgia.]

I stopped here early in the morning before a day of business meetings in Ozark, Alabama and found this the perfect setting to walk and cleanse my soul and mind in preparation for the day. To walk through these woods and to stare out upon the lake, it is easy to forget that civilization is just up the road a ways, that you are mere minutes from the hustle and bustle if everyday life. Every time that I am up in Ozark, I try to find my way here. This park is one of the places that lingers within your soul long after you leave and makes you appreciate the sheer majesty of nature and of the gift of life.
