Amazing Facilities and Programs!!
I live in North Fulton county and discovered the Sawnee Mountain Preserve about 5 months ago. They have the most beautiful nature preserve on the mountain, their staff is friendly and helpful, and their educational programs are world class. I am blessed to be able to visit the preserve on a regular basis, but I could definitely see someone from out of town making a trip just to visit this place!
