Places to visit
Lake Lanier
After renting a car from Atlanta Airport, you’ll be able to drive to Lake Lanier in around an hour on the I-85. Whether you’re keen to set out on hiking trails, play a round of mini golf or hit the water slides, there’s plenty to do in this expansive reservoir. The islands on the lake have their own entertainment from zip lining to beach areas to help you pass the time. The Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club is on the site where these sports were hosted during the 1996 Olympic Games.
Chattanooga
Crossing over state lines is no issue and it’s worth driving into Tennessee via the I-75 to get to Chattanooga. It’ll take just under two hours and you’ll be greeted by a city in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The best way to see this area is with a ride on the Incline Railway up Lookout Mountain to Ruby Falls and Rock City, with stunning views throughout. It’s thought that Ruby Falls is 30 million years old.
Providence Canyon State Park
Georgia’s answer to the Grand Canyon lies just two hours and ten minutes’ drive away in your Atlanta car rental via the I-185. Hike the trails of the Providence Canyon State Park and marvel at the geological formations and the vibrant natural oranges, reds and purples of the terrain in this area. With 16 canyons in total, there’s no shortage of places to explore and you’re bound to find an area devoid of other people.
