Named after John and William Bartram, the first early naturalists in colonial America, the Bartram Forest Wildlife Management Area covers 1343 acres, located just a short distance outside Milledgeville. Here visitors can spend a few hours exploring the forest on foot or by bicycle, along a network of trails which wind their way around the pine forests, through meadows and beside waterways.

The trails are graded from green to red, offering something suitable to visitors of all fitness levels. There is a pavilion and an educational kiosk where visitors can learn about the local flora and fauna. The larger Wildlife Management Area also offers archery hunting in season.
