5 Summer Adventure Spots In Georgia

Summer is here and everyone is itching to go on an adventure. During summer, most of us have much more free time because we are out of school. We love the thought of sitting around the house all summer and staying in bed, but in reality that gets old fast and you'll want to do something! So here are a few ideas of places you can go in and around Georgia for a day adventure.

1. Mount Yonah

This little adventure is located in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. It is in north Georgia, so it can be a day trip reached from anywhere in the state! This is a great place to go for a hike. While hiking up this summit, you can enjoy an extravagantly beautiful scenery while you hike. They also offer camping if you choose to make a weekend of it. Call ahead to make sure you're not hiking on a training day!

2. Cloudland Canyon State Park

This state park is located close to the Georgia and Tennessee state line. Near the state line there are tons of things to do, most things revolving around Lookout Mountain. There are cottages, campsites, golf, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, caving, biking and so much more. This can be a trip with a friend or a weekend away with the family. Plus, everyone loves a cave tour.

3. A Sunflower Patch In Cumming, Georgia

An activity in the sun that brings the same joy as going to a pumpkin patch. There may not be a hay ride, but picking flowers is always fun. At this flower patch, you can buy your own or go out and pick them! If you love to pick your own flowers, try picking your own berries at the Southern Belle Farm in McDonough, Ga or Whitley Farms in Sharpsburg, Georgia. Berry picking is a fun, southern activity and kids love it!!

4. Lake Lanier or Lake Allatoona

A day at the lake is always fun. You can pack up the portable grill, hotdogs and hamburgers, and some snacks. Make a day of it. Relax on the beach and when everyone is tired of the water you can hop out and eat your lunch at the picnic tables. There are tons of lakes all throughout the state, so don't limit yourself to one or two!

5. Blue Cove Hideaway

This is a beautiful little quarry located in McMinn, Tennessee. Throughout Tennessee, there are tons of little swims holes throughout the entire state. Even in Georgia, there are swim holes such as Blue Hole Falls.

Wherever the road leads you, always remember to be safe and let someone know where you are! Summer adventures are always great, and they don't have to cost a lot. And above all, always where sunscreen when you're going to spend time outside

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
