Get outside to learn & grow, get back to nature, or discover your natural habitat this week in Dublin GA!
1. Have S’More Fun
Pack a tent and marshmallows too! Enjoy the beautiful wildlife of River Bend WMA. Discover the perfect campsite, put on your hiking shoes, birdwatch, or throw out a line just steps from I-16. Reconnect with wide- open spaces, stargaze, and just breathe it in.
2. Hook, Line, & Sinker
Reel ‘em in at Hugh Gillis Public Fishing Area every Wednesday through Sunday from sunrise to sundown. From fishing to boating, Hugh Gillis offers a quiet respite. Stock up with hooks, lines, and sinkers at Oconee Bait & Tackle, where the staff will stuff your tackle box with all you need to catch a fish worthy of fibbing about.
3. Open Air Market
Stock up for summer grilling at the Market On Madison farmers market each Saturday at 7:30 AM through October. Get outside and grill up Georgia Grown veggies and fruit for the best shish kebobs, sides, and salads.
4. Park It
Not all of paradise has been paved. Escape with the birds and the bees to Stubbs Park where a butterfly garden and free-flowing natural creek await discovery. Pack a picnic, toss a Frisbee, and take a turn on the swings. This historic park is steps from Downtown, where local eateries and boutiques will give you an adventure of another sort.
5. River Rats Love
Lounge in the cool waters, paddle down the banks, or hook a bass at the Oconee River. Site of the crossing of Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto and Sherman’s Army, take in the beauty of this great river Sunday through Saturday, sunrise to sunset.
6. Sunshiney Stroll
Get outside and explore Downtown Dublin with over 70 historic landmarks! Downtown Dublin Walking Tour allows you to recall what Dublin was once like. Grab a friend and your favorite walking shoes and get outside to take in all 5 miles of Dublin’s historic beauty.
7. Lettuce Show You #GeorgiaGrown
Take a short drive and #getoutside at R & G Farms Monday through Saturday during daylight hours for the freshest selection of lettuces, including kale, romaine, green leaf, and herbs picked fresh daily.
8. Get Stepping
Air out your brain and stretch your muscles and #getoutside at Fairview Park Walking Trail. Located in the heart of Dublin, this paved nature trail attracts wildlife like ducks, birds, and the occasional beaver.
