Fort Yargo State Park

Smack dab between Athens and Atlanta, Fort Yargo State Park is the perfect getaway for urban dwellers. Fortify those leg muscles on one of the challenging 18-mile trails where you can traverse by bike or foot, and don't forget to bring your frisbee from college for a good ol' frolfing reunion. Nearly 2,000 acres of land mean that boating around, or just chilling on the beach is still serious business. Putt putt some mini golf or challenge your best friend to a game of basketball. Whether you're looking to fish or even do some geo-caching, Fort Yargo State Park is definitely where all the cool kids are at.
