Please note that this is currently closed from the red trail and green trail entrance. I went in with one of the rangers on a tour. Do not trespass! Fee for the tour, like many of their tours, was $10.
Learning the history of this mill was absolutely amazing. There's so much history and richness attached to this building, and the whole park in general. Even if you're unable to come see the mill, I highly recommend asking one of the rangers for some history on the building.
In the event you'd like to see this building, head over to the yellow loop trail and stay along the riverside. There are a few spots where you can see the mill from the river. Bring binoculars!

This place is supremely big and most definitely fun! I absolutely highly recommend checking this place out, especially for a free and fun experience. The paths are very clear and the reservoir was very beautiful. We all had fun climbing to each dry rock in hopes of not slipping. The plants are also really cool to look at and climbing boulders all make the journey fun and memorable. Again, I highly recommend!

Located inside Sweetwater Creek State Park are the New Manchester Ruins. I had no idea this was here until a friend recommended it. Probably the biggest ruins I've come across so far and unfortunately, they are fenced off. But still well worth the visit and nice to see a piece of history preserved. It's about a mile walk from the visitor center and the trail is relatively easy. There is plenty of shade on a hot summer day and much vegetation to admire along the way. Trail maps are located at every major juncture to help guide you along the way. Lots of sizable rocks are spread across the river, perfect for relaxation or a suntan. Bring a swim suit if you plan to cool off.

Absolutely an astonishing place to visit. We look forward to returning again and again. Save yourself some money and purchase the yearly pass to all Georgia state parks. And make it worth your dollar.

The hikes leading up to the mill are awesome, and going past the mill the red path gets pretty tough. It was a really great day walking through the paths. The creek is really fun to watch and to get in once you need a break from the climbing. The water moves quick, but not enough to sweep you away. Highly recommend.
