Leaving behind the bustle of Atlanta's cityscape, you can also find a lot of natural beauty right around the area. There are also many interesting vacation attractions to visit as well. (2005,06,07,08,11) |
| The granite outcropping of Stone Mountain with its famous carvings and view of the city has made the large park there an important Atlanta attraction. The ruins of an old mill burned during the Civil War now a part of Sweetwater Creek Park on the outskirts of the city. The Chattahoochee river runs from North Georgia right through Atlanta and you can very easily visit parks along it right off the highway for a day of flycasting or kayaking. Inside Stone Mountain park are lakes and creeks and interesting sites like this old mill. On the west side of Atlanta are the giant roller coasters of Six Flags Over Georgia. Kennesaw Mountain just to the northwest of the city is the site of a famous Civil War battle where the Confederates tried to hold Sherman's march through the city. Atlanta has long been able to brag that Hartsfield-Jackson is the world's busiest airport. |
