Hello Everyone! For this week’s recommendation, I recently visited Morgan Falls Overlook Park and it is a gem that I highly recommend. This beautiful park is in Sandy Springs in Georgia and as far as activities, it has something for everyone! This park is open all year round and is suitable for visitors of all ages and is ideal for group settings.
Initially when I first visited this park, I was only expecting a place to relax one afternoon, but I stumbled on so much more. There are many activities to do while visiting Morgan Falls Park and you will always have something to do. There is a playground area which is great for young children to play on while at the park. Near the playground there is a big, covered picnic area with a fireplace which would be great for any social gatherings. The day I went I saw many people sitting in the field picnicking and enjoying the sun. There are plenty of swinging chairs that give a great view of overlook of the lake and dock area. On the lake, it is very common to see people kayaking and paddle boarding. There is also a paddle shack that offers standup paddleboards and kayaks available to rent during specific times throughout the season.
If you go opposite of the Overlook area, you will find the hiking trail, the main river and dog area. The hiking trail is very short featuring a trail less than a mile that loops around. The dog area is perfect to bring your furry companion to interact with other dogs in a wide-open area, having two separate areas for small dogs and larger dogs. On the main river, you will often see people fishing, relaxing, and sitting under the trees. There is also a boat ramp to bring a boat for those who were looking for the opportunity to bring their boat if they wanted.
I personally enjoyed my visit to this location. It was very relaxing to sit down and chat with a friend on a warm afternoon. I highly recommend you check out this location next time you are near Sandy Springs. If possible, I would go on a day that you are completely free to experience a large majority of the possible activities at Morgan Falls Overlook Park.
