Did you get a shiny new bicycle this year from Santa? Maybe some running shoes? Binoculars and a birding book even? If so then Ocmulgee Mounds has a way for you to enjoy those new toys! We have trails for bikes, paved paths to run on or look for birds! Come and enjoy the park!

Today is #MuscogeeMonday and we would like to highlight the fruit most associated with our state and that's the peach! "Pvkanv" pronounced (buh-GAH-nuh), meaning "a peach" August is known as "National Peach Month" and signifies the end of peach season in Georgia.

It's time for another #MuscogeeMonday! August is known as Back to School Month and what a better way to commemorate it by giving a shout-out to our teacher friends who are starting the school year! The word is "mvhayv" pronounced (muh-HAH-yuh) and means "a teacher"

“Why did the turtle cross the park road?” “…well I’m not really sure but let’s make sure he does so safely” The speed-limit on the park road is 25mph to ensure that you can stop in time if you come across wildlife crossing! Be sure to #RecreateResponsibly

Happy #MemorialDay! Originally known as "Decoration Day", it was a day to decorate graves of those that had died fighting during the American Civil War. After WW I the name was changed to "Memorial Day" to reflect and honor those who died serving their country in all U.S. Wars.
