Family Activity
Popular At State
Parks in Winter
ATLANTA,—(GPS) Family
reunions and group picnics in two
of Georgia’s state parks are al
most as popular during the winter
as they are in the summer, ac
cording to State Parks Director
John L. Gordon.
Neither rain, sleet nor snow
can put a damper on these ac
tivities when clubs, churches or
groups of friends make arrange
ments to use the “family and
group shelters” at High Falls
near Jackson, and Red Top Moun
tain Park near Cartersville, the
director said.
Arrangement for use of these
facilities can be made through
the park superintendents at a
daily rental of $25, it was pointed
out.
The shelters are completely en
closed and heated so inclement
weather need not cause cancella
tion of plans for organized group
outings. Barbecue grills, drinking
fountains, restroom facilities,
soft drink machines, and sinks
with hot and cold water are
among their conveniences.
Just 58 miles south of Atlan
ta via 1-75, High Falls State Park
is the site of one of Georgia’s
most scenic cascades, and the
hills surrounding the park lake
are popular with campers.
