Four Must-See Outdoor Destinations in Conyers
Georgia International Horse Park Arboretum
A positively relaxing stroll through Conyers‘ Garden of Trees is a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with nature. Five acres of the Georgia International Horse Park is set aside for paths marked with tree identification signage, memorial plaques and plenty of woodsy seating for enjoying birdsongs.
Big Haynes Creek Nature Center
An impressive preserve within the Georgia International Horse Park with more than 170 acres dedicated to conservation of native plants and wildlife, this nature center is an outdoor experience appealing to nature-lovers of all ages. The beautifully crafted, interactive learning stations are located along easy, natural-surface trails that wind through the woods and lead visitors to a wildlife viewing platform overlooking the wetlands.
Walk of Heroes in Black Shoals Park at Randy Poynter Lake
Located in a peaceful park on the reservoir, a self-guided tour leads visitors along a historic military timeline honoring veterans with dramatic memorials, a botanical garden, and much more in the works. With picnic areas, a playground, and fishing pier nearby, it is a quiet place to reflect and connect.
Prayer Walk at Monastery of the Holy Spirit
The community of trappist monks marks the trailhead for the paved PATH trail that connects to Panola Mountain State Park and Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area. In addition to touring the Monastic Heritage Center and an impressive collection of Bonsai, take a quiet walk near the Abbey Church to a peaceful picnic spot near the lake.
