Chilly February is when many of us start daydreaming about warmer weather and weekend escapes. The newly published “2012 Guide to Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites” is the perfect resource for planning a quick getaway, spring break and summer vacation.  The free, 64-page booklet is filled with tips on the state’s best hiking and biking trails, top fishing spots, affordable accommodations, family reunion destinations and more.

Produced annually by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, the guide features colorful photos that make for a scenic armchair tour of the Peach State.  For a free copy, call 1-800-864-7275 or stop by any Georgia State Park or State Historic Site.  Park details, including events, rates and photo galleries, can also be found on GeorgiaStateParks.org.  Park enthusiasts can keep up with the latest news and discounts by following Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites on Facebook and Twitter.
