Starting line of the 2017 Labor Day Road Race at Vineville Baptist Church. Both the 5K and 10K races feature fast, point-to-point courses that lead through downtown Macon and into Central City Park.
The Great Lawn at Amerson River Park. The park is in an oxbow of the Ocmulgee River. It has paved walking/biking trails that pass through shady woods with a few open grassy areas like this one. There are 2 overlooks on the Ocmulgee River and a set of stairs that lead down to the water. There are 2 launch points for tubes/kayaks, its very popular in the summer for tubers since you can put in at one launch and get out at the other launch all within the same park.
Thousands of people flock to NOC on a warm summer day to kayak or raft down the river. The shimmering Nantahala River offers whitewater rafting through rapids that are mild but exciting. Nantahala rafting features eight miles of practice on easy Class II rapids before splashing through the exciting Class III whitewater of Nantahala Falls. Both guided and self-guided trips are available - either on rafts or ducks (inflatable kayaks). Miss the big crowds in May, September and October (great way to see fall color!) https://noc.com/
