Spend A Perfect Day On This Old-Fashioned Paddle Boat Cruise In Georgia
For some reason, Georgia seems to be flush with a few of these old-fashioned paddle boats, cruisin’ guests up and down the waterways of our beautiful state. We’re not complaining, by any means, but instead commenting on how these fascinating paddle boats have withstood the test of time and continue to be a worthwhile adventure. We’ve written before about perhaps the most popular riverboat cruise in Georgia: The Riverboat Cruise In Georgia You Never Knew Existed, which takes cruisers up and down the Savannah River, but this particular old-fashioned paddle boat has been around for decades and is still completely worth the adventure. Take a look.
Most people visiting Stone Mountain Park in Georgia don’t even know that a riverboat cruise exists.
Yet, since 1976, riverboats have been paddling out through Stone Mountain Lake providing passengers with the chance to see a uniquely captivating side of the park.
A fascinating fact about the paddle boats at Stone Mountain is that the sunken remains of the very first riverboat, the Robert E. Lee, can still be seen at the bottom of the lake.
