Riverwalk Augusta, Augusta, GA 30901, USA
Sure, we love wandering deep in the woods. But it's also nice when you can get a bit of nature in a more urban environment. The Augusta Riverwalk provides a paved riverside trail along the Savannah River that's one of our favorite riverwalks in Georgia. You'll find fountains, playgrounds, regular festivals, and plenty more here. Find out more from Visit Augusta.

Of course, if you do decide to hike, there are plenty of trails to explore in the park's 1,000 acres.
F.D. Roosevelt State Park, 2970 GA-190, Pine Mountain, GA 31822, USA
As the largest state park in Georgia, there's a lot to love about F.D. Roosevelt State Park. This place is a 9,000-acre wonderland, with 40 miles of trails, incredible forests, and practically endless skies.
Providence Canyon State Park, 8930 Canyon Rd, Lumpkin, GA 31815, USA
Your final stop on this road trip through the great outdoors in Georgia will take you to Providence Canyon State Park. This place is considered one of the great natural wonders of Georgia, but it's actually not an entirely natural feature. There was a canyon here originally, but the land was greatly eroded due to poor agricultural practices to get to the "little Grand Canyon" that we know today.
