Sell’s Mill Park

Jackson County, Ga

Water mill from the early 1900s.

This is a nice little park, and it is a little park indeed. The playground is not much to boast about but overall this is a great spot for the hot summer days!

We went on a Thursday afternoon. It was not crowded at all. The weather was around 75 and humid. There was a water sprout for the kids to play in to keep cool.

If you venture down near the mill there is a stream to play in as well, or have picnics and just listen to the sound of water. I saw some people trying to fish upstream.

This was a fun climbing experience with the bare rocks. I imagine once the water starts flowing it’ll look really pretty cascading down the stream.

There’s a pavilion for shade and eating, and it overlooks the stream.

Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. We will come back during the summer to play in the water. If you’re in the area you should definitely check it out.

Freeman’s Mill Park

Lawrenceville, Ga

This was a nice little spot to just sit and listen to the water, have a picnic at nearby tables or simply relax.

This area is across the water. To get there you’ll need to walk on the road over the bridge and then hop over the railing. You’ll then see a little trail leading to it.

Great playground for the kids.

This mill was built between 1868-1878 by the John Griffin and Levi J. Loveless.
