Sweetwater Creek State Park
Hiking, fishing, and boating in lush terrain just outside of Atlanta.
Look over the rugged hills gushing rapids of Sweetwater Creek State Park, and you would never know that you’re just 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta. This 2,500-acre park has everything you need for a getaway adventure—hike along wooded trails, paddle across a 215-acre reservoir, and visit the ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, a textile mill that burned down during the Civil War. The visitor center is also worth seeing to learn about the park while exploring one of the most sustainable buildings in the country.
