“Many of our visitors grew up playing outside during summer, so they don’t mind warmer months.  Some are just happy that the record-breaking winter is behind us,” region manager Eric Bentley said.  “We know people still want to get out and have fun during July and August, so we’re making it affordable for everyone.  Plus, summer afternoons are perfect for taking a nap in a hammock.”
Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-864-7275 or going to www.GeorgiaStateParks.org/reservations.  Use promo code Summer50% to get the discount.
