Stone Mountain Park - Atlanta, Georgia

Address:Atlanta, Georgia

The most unique attraction at this State Park is one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world, whose opening is 180 feet down where only cave divers have ventured. 12,000 years ago this same spring was the site where Paleo Indians hunted mastodons, giant sloths and bison, whose bones still remain at the bottom. Today, visitors are invited to explore the springs on the ranger-led glass-bottom boat tour and see large gar, mudfish, bream, and bass. The shallow marshes on the river provide a habitat for limpkin, purple gallinules egret, vultures and much more fauna. With all of this plus excellent opportunities for hiking, snorkeling, and swimming, Wakulla Springs is a true wildlife adventure!
