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.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
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.
