The restrooms by the playground were clean and spacious! The playground was large and fun and offered minimal shade. We drove out and around to the water front to hike the loop trail which was such a joy. We saw so many lovely animals and ran into some lovely locals who shared stories of animal run ins while at the park. The barn you walk through could use some love it was a little spooky haha overall we would come back in a heart beat! It's a beautiful natural oasis!

This is a fantastic community park. I stopped by one evening to check it out and stayed a while to…read morewatch a few of the various groups practicing softball. There was a young girl's softball team with fast pitch machine; a mixed co-ed group and an elderly gentleman group all practicing batting consistency. It is fantastic for the community to offer an outlet for all age groups to practice softball and be part of a team. It was very nice to be able to watch the players while just exploring the area. But mostly, I love the military veteran's memorial. What a tremendous tribute to service members and capture of Commander in Chief quotes throughout the various military conflicts in this nation's history. Spectacular memorial found in McDonough, Georgia. It is a must visit if on the area.

After a few scrolls on All Trails I stumbled upon Cochran Mill Green Loop. Cochran Mill Green Loop…read morewas easy to find as it sits right off the main roadway. The parking is ample (and paid) and has space for horse trailer parking as well. As I arrived at the main area I took a moment to review the board. The board educated me that there were multiple trail options. Also, the routes vary by skill level and miles. I was so excited. As today was my non-gym day I decided to go for the Yellow Trail as it is Moderate in effort and is 3-4 miles. I was slightly confused at first, however, there was an entry to the trail towards the back of the parking area. Once I found it, it was all go from there. LoL! The trail was easy to follow as the path is easily identifiable. The woods are quiet and personal. There was a sense of peace as I was walking through the woods. The different levels of elevation provide for an enhanced view of the general area. I'm talking absolutely gorgeous. The spots of water provide a moment of serenity as you get lost in the sounds of water going down the stream. The path was fun as it was up, down, and all around. I had a blast. Truly, a blast. As I was getting to the end I got lost. lol. Thanks to All Trails for tracing my route as I was able to retrace my steps. Next time I'll pay better attention to where I parked so I can know where to go back to. Ha!! Today was amazing. Great air. Great trail. Great time.

We stayed at Indian Springs as we wanted to do a couple things in Jackson (about 10-15 mins away)…read more Pros: -the park is beautiful! -Several trails to hike and an old cemetary to explore. -The spring -Visitor Center is a beautiful old building. Staff was very pleasant. -Camp hosts keep the place so clean and neat -Bathrooms were amazing! 2 stalls (one regular and one handicap) and 2 showers (one regular and one handicap). These were spotless. -Really neat kids playground in the new section Cons: -The road in is windy and VERY narrow. -New section: The sites are spacious but man... Not sure who designed it. All the pull thrus had slopes. We actually disconnected the Jeep and backed into our pull thru site as we may have bottomed out trying to actually pull in forward. The spot where the patio is was level and long enough for our 40' bus, but the jeep was on a slant when parked either in front or behind the coach. We saw this in most of the sites. I think if we stayed in the new section again, we'd chose one of the back in sites. -Hook ups were near the front of the site. Good thing we have long hoses! We camped at Indian Springs State Park in a Motorhome.

Shamrock is a small park located in Tyrone Ga. It has all the amenities of a typical park:…read morebasketball and tennis courts, a paved 1/2 mile walking trail, picnic area with tables and grills, playground, a field area perfect for picnics, a public restroom, and benches for sitting. There's a duck filled pond in the center of the park with duck, geese, and fish food nearby available for purchase. Fishing is permitted for Tyrone residents but it's catch and release only. During the warm weather months the parking lot can get full in the evenings but there's more parking available in the back near the library.

There isn't much extra I could add that Erica hasn't already covered but I'll do my best!…read more This park is the perfect local spot for any of your park needs. They have a tennis/basketball court that stays lit up until 10pm. (If it is off for inactivity there is a button on the outside rear corner to turn them on, it will cut off by timer and have to be reset but will permanently go off at 10 pm) They have clean restrooms and a water fountain. There is a half mile paved walking trail around the pond with a covered pavilion, playgrounds and picnic tables all around the walking trail. My favorite part of this park is that with the police station right next door I feel safe here at any hour!!

Cubihatcha Outdoor Education Center is a protected wetlands area…read more They are only open M-F 8am to 4pm. There are three trails: blue loop = 1.2 miles, red loop = 1.3 miles and orange loop = 7.7 miles. I tried to navigate the red loop and got lost. But that is not unusual for me. It ended up taking me 2.5 miles. I really like this place. The trails are well maintained, plenty of restrooms (port-a-potties) along the way, and gorgeous scenery. Whenever I get a chance, I plan to frequent this place. Besides trails, they also offer educational classes to learn about the area, wildlife, water conservation and more. Come check them out, they are near Noah's Ark in Locust Grove.
