Amerson River Park is a large park with nearly 200 acres of wetlands, forests, and meadows encircled by a u-shaped section of the Ocmulgee River. The park has 7 miles of trails that take visitors to high, scenic bluffs and overlooks that offer stunning views of the river and surrounding area. The park features a handicap-accessible playground that is specially designed for all children to be able to play. Visitors can explore the river itself by kayak, by canoe, or by floating in a tube. The Jay Hall Memorial Canoe Launch is a jumping-off point for canoers and kayakers as well as the starting point for a 2-mile tubing float.
