Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park (formerly Ocmulgee National Monument) in Macon, Georgia, United States preserves traces of over ten millennia of culture from the Native Americans in the Southeastern Woodlands. Its chief remains are major earthworks built before 1000 CE by the South Appalachian Mississippian culture (a regional variation of the Mississippian culture.)These include the Great Temple and other ceremonial mounds, a burial mound, and defensive trenches. They represented highly skilled engineering techniques and soil knowledge, and the organization of many laborers.
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.
