6 Awesome Outdoor Atlanta Adventures for Spring Break Fun

No big plans for spring break? Don’t worry. Here are 10 awesome outdoor adventures close to home for spring break fun.

Paintball. What better way to get out some pent up aggression than a game of paintball. There are several places to play paintball in Atlanta.

Flying. Why not take the week of spring break and learn how to fly. The Experimental Aviation Association has a program called Young Eagles. It gives kids from 8 – 17 the opportunity to fly free in a small aircraft. After the program teens (14-17) are eligible for an online training course (a $200 value) and a voucher for their first flight lesson with an instructor!

Dirt Bike Riding. Durhamtown Off Road Resort is in Union Point, Georgia, less than two hours from Atlanta. Experienced and novice riders have lots of room to push their limits on dirt bikes and ATV on 150 miles of one way trails including pee wee, supercross, MX, a dirt drag strip, a dirt flat oval and a freestyle park.

Horseback Riding. Southern Cross Guest Ranch is a dude ranch near Madison. In addition to overnight packages, Southern Cross also has day rides available. Wander through 200 acres on horseback, play a little basketball, or take the bikes into the fields. Need more places to ride? Here is a list of places to trail ride in Georgia.

Visit a Zoo. Get an up-close selfie with a camel or maybe a wolf at the North Georgia Zoo. This isn’t your normal city zoo. Here you can actually feed the camel, and there are lots of special programs to get up-close and personal with the animals. Another cool thing to know – many of the animals are movie stars in the burgeoning Georgia film industry.

Go Zip Lining. There are several great zip lines in Georgia. North Georgia Canopy Tours has two dueling zip lines - perfect for a little smack talk and competition.
