Hurricane Shoals Park and Covered Bridge

For Mother's Day this year, we took Gretchen to Hurricane Shoals Park up in Maysville, GA.

I'm betting you are wondering "what is at Hurricane Shoals Park?" and unless you hit the web page link above you probably didn't imagine that it starts with a bunch of 1800's log cabins and buildings (aka Heritage Village) like this one.

As you can see it was a beautiful sunny day.  Speaking of beauties, my two ladies had a great time checking it all out.

Speaking of old buildings, there were a bunch of them – and even an old school house.

The best looking building was the Miles Wilson Matthews Chapel shown below.

Being big fans of Covered Bridges, we then moseyed over to the 22 year old reconstruction of the original 1869 bridge that burned down in 1972.

This thing is VERY well constructed; inside & out.

We even got our patented "peek through the window" picture!!

But driving through is the best part for sure.

On the other side of the bridge is the name sake of the park itself, Hurricane Shoals, which has a little dam at the top of it before the water rushes down the rocks.

This is a nice little treat not too far away for those living in the Atlanta area and should definitely be visited at least once.  I hope all the moms out there had a nice Mother's Day like we were blessed with.
