Lyons

Only a short drive off of Interstate 16, Lyons, Georgia, is a charming, vibrant downtown in Toombs County. Several opportunities to taste the area's fresh produce (especially the area's famed Vidalia onions) and experience the farm life can be found here, including at Pittman's Country Market and Family Farm, on a stay at Wild Mustang Ranch and with a u-pick experience at Ohoopee Farms.   

The town is known for a variety of family fun events throughout the year, including the Southeast Georgia Soap Box Derby, which sends two winners to the All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio, as well as Tales from the Altamaha, an award-winning folk-life play, The Real Squeal BBQ & Music Festival and Winter WonderLyons, a day of family fun ending with a lighted nighttime Christmas parade.

Partin Park has a walking trail, skateboard park and multiple playgrounds, including an inclusive, accessible playground, and is a great spot for a picnic.
