Splitting the state into regions for easy reader direction, Howard visits all the major towns and cities, along with some of the small lesser-known communities. Atlanta, Savannah, Athens, Augusta, Eastman, Douglas and Waycross are profiled in depth, with details on getting there and getting around, where to stay eat, antique shopping, craft fairs, even where to park. Beyond that, you'll discover what there is to see and do in and around that town: hiking, boating, lake fishing, golfing, deep-sea and shark fishing, whitewater sports. Sights and points of historic interest take another section as Howard walks you through Civil War battlefields, hikes with you around some of the state's best recreation areas and guides you to the most interesting museums.
