Tallulah Falls State Park is one of Georgia’s best State Parks. The Tallulah Gorge is that deep & that epic. And the bridge across the Gorge is a brilliant & beautiful feature.

Bees are such a win-win-win. These hives are in a clearing in Smithgall Woods State Park. They are maintained by Ally Bees Honey (who I highly recommend for local Georgia honey). They pollinate the wildflowers, native plants, and wildlife food plots…all while creating so much extra honey.

George L Smith State Park is small in acreage but dense in nature. The blackwater river (dammed by an old mill) is packed with majestic Bald Cypress. They are a joy to to paddle through – and incredible for birding.

Appalachian Balds are a historical mystery. But they are very man-made now. This one is one of my favorites. I’ll gatekeep the exact location (it’s up an old logging road in a Georgia State Park donated by a dedicated conservationist near Cleveland, GA), but it’s maintained by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources as a wildlife clearing. There are views in the winter, but birds and wildlife year-round.

#Florida #WildlifeCorridor linking #StateParks would thwart #development
#LoxaLucie Headwaters Initiative aims to buy #HobeSound land for conservation.
by Timothy O'Hara, Jan. 2, 2026
"At a time when development pressure is pushing north into rural Martin County, conservation groups want to protect a wildlife corridor between two state parks in Hobe Sound.
"The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative was founded to protect the ecologically important corridor between #AtlanticRidgePreserve State Park and #JonathanDickinson State Park and connect the #LoxahatcheeRiver and #SaintLucie rivers. That would create a preserve for #NativePlants and #wildlife species that would span about 70,000 acres.
"The public owns #Hapatiokee and #PalMar regional parks, but there are thousands of acres of privately owned land in natural conditions that are ripe for development, said Guardians of Martin County Executive Director Greg Braun, whose group is part of the initiative.
" 'If they can connect the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, we should be able to connect Jonathan Dickinson State Park to Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park,' Braun told TCPalm."

It's very hot here in Florida right now, but we've been able to get to the Little Lake Manatee State Park down the street a few times when it gets cloudy. A breeze also helps!

All-Terrain Motoring for Persons with Disabilities at State Parks:
Several states offer wheelchair users the opportunity to explore the great outdoors in places they may have previously been unable to. These “Land Rover Wheelchairs” with tank style tracks, allow people with mobility disabilities to enjoy the natural beauty of state park trails, in even the most rugged and unaccommodating terrain.
Rocks, roots, snow wetlands and thick growth no longer prevent access to people with disabilities with a desire for bush wacking.Colorado offers free equipment as part of their a "Track-Chair" program included with the price of park admission. Minnesota has five chairs and has finished a test period as they are “evaluating” their pilot program. Michigan's “Sleeping Bear Dunes" was the first National Park to offer the rough and tumble 500 pound chairs.
Some states require users to complete an online training course and provide advanced notice or make reservations. There are rental fees involved for this “accommodation” in certain states.
South Dakota and Georgia recently unveiled their fleets of All-Terrain wheelchair "tanks" making them the latest states to provide accessability and accommodation. Exploring South Dakota’s badlands sounds peachy. Tank you for joining the movement to provide access and mobility to persons with disabilities.
