Atlanta Outdoors
 Although Atlanta is a big city and offers everything a large city should (and more), for the bed and breakfast nature lovers, the outdoors are not neglected. Everything from trout fishing to hiking is within a short drive from the city. Located at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains make Atlanta an ideal destination for those bed and breakfast guests seeking both outdoor and big-city experiences. The Chattooga River (made famous by the movie Deliverance) provides a wonderful venue for fishing, canoeing, kayaking or just plain ol' swimming. If hiking and exploring nature is your way of enjoying the outdoors, then head to the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge. Here you'll find a carefully preserved forested area complete with wetlands, beaver dams and migrating waterfowl. If you'd like to enjoy a piece of history while exploring the outdoors, then the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is where you should go. An actual civil war battlefield, you will be able to feel the distinction of the landscape while enjoying the natural scenery. A fun way to enjoy the outdoors, get exercise and see the city is to explore the PATH trails, which connect the neighborhoods and sites of the city with large, wide walking paths, which the local residents enjoy and use frequently. Your friendly bed and breakfast innkeeper will be able to help direct you to these delightful areas. |
