Unocoi State Park, Unocoi Georgia

This park, located 2 miles away from Helen, Georgia is great for nature exploration. Standing on the swinging bridge, you can watch and identify fish and wildlife.

There's also a beach with a pier, canoeing and paddleboating if you're brave enough to venture out.
However, since our unfortunate adventure with an alligator during our last canoeing trip, we aren't brave enough to risk it yet.

Lots of nature trails are available for hiking and a more comprehensive nature study. Be sure to take those handy field guides.
