The 6,500-acre resort located just outside of Columbus, Georgia features a butterfly center, a birds of prey exhibit, zip lines, a beach complete with water sports, geocaching, an expansive azalea garden, hiking trails, and a spa. There's something for every member of the family and for every mood. Looking for a relaxing day on the water? Grab a towel and some sunscreen and hit the beach. Looking for a thrill? Take to the treetops and enjoy one of the many zip lining courses throughout the resort.
