Hurricane Shoals and Historical Heritage Village

This weekend we discovered a great park in Mayesville GA. The Hurricane Shoals Park and Historical Heritage Village. This is the perfect spot to cool down on a hot summer day. There are great sliding rocks with plenty of swimming holes, picnic areas, a hiking trail, playgrounds for the kids, and the Heritage Village. Something for everyone. And Admission is Free.

We had a great time cooling down in the River and exploring the Heritage Village.

1870 – Cotton gin and grist mill began operation and did so until the mid-1920’s. foundations of the grist mill can still be seen on the Jefferson side of the Park. The Grist Mill was rebuilt in the 1980’s and is fully functional today. It grinds corn meal for the Art in the Park Festival.

I hope you get a chance to explore and enjoy this beautiful Park. It is well worth the trip. Can’t wait to go back again.
