Soak It In – Splash into Summer Water Activities at Georgia State Parks

May 3, 2017 -- Warm weather in the South means outdoor lovers want to seek out ways to stay cool in the water, but Georgia’s drought has impacted water use, lake levels and environmental health. Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites are doing their part to conserve water in the state parks as part of the annual “Soak It In” programming, celebrating the ways Georgians play in — and depend on — water. Look for “Soak It In” themed events at GaStateParks.org/SoakItIn/Events. Additional ways that visitors can spend time outside at Georgia State Park’s lakes, rivers and marshes include paddling, swimming, fishing and boating.
