  • Leaf-watching in northwest Georgia

    It’s fall, and people are streaming to Georgia’s many state parks and wilderness areas to see the leaves change color, and one of the best places for leaf-watching is Cloudland Canyon State Park.

    Peak fall foliage is typically late October to early November (according to the farmer’s almanac). Cloudland Canyon has 60 miles of hikes with waterfalls, biking trails, horseback riding, and fishing.  There’s even a disc golf area and geocaching. The hike is considered moderate, but it’s doable for most people. For the more adventurous, get a permit and head into the Cloudland Caves.  Please note that this is for experienced wild cavers only! 

    While in the area, check out River Remedy Brewing Company or The Foundry Growler Bar:

    The Foundry has plenty of options from appetizer-type dishes in their dining room to wine tasting to packaged craft beers and a Spanish cedar humidor.

    As always, happy fall and have a beautiful day!
