Fall Foliage

Georgia is full of opportunities to experience the scenic leaves changing throughout the state and the Forsyth area is no different. The walking trails and pet-friendly hiking at one of Forsyth’s six parks and fishing on the Ocmulgee River are great options. You can also plan a picnic at Country Club Park!

Welcome to Forsyth Train Mural

The beautiful welcome mural commissioned by the City of Forsyth was completed in 2017 and aims to inspire pride in locals but is also sure to impress tourists. The art is designed to show off the city’s railroad history and welcome anyone who visits.

You can find this unique photo op located at the corner of W. Johnston and the railroad tracks across from Monroe County Historical Society Museum and Train Depot.

Scoops Ice Cream Shop

Any day with ice cream is a photo-op, in our opinion, but the local owners at Scoops really know how to make it pretty! They have ice cream, homemade sweets and create unique seasonal-themed goodies like pumpkin and Frankenstein chocolate covered strawberries and caramel apples! They also provide giant rocking chairs for a fun photo opportunity in front of this cute shop.

Cure your sweet-tooth at 26 N. Jackson Street.

Walking Trails

Are you ready to breathe in the crisp autumn air and stretch your legs? Hit the walking trail located on the historic Tift College in Forsyth Tift College 40-acre campus. This location is actually now the Georgia Department of Corrections state offices but it was originally a women’s college founded in 1849. Most of the historic structures have been preserved.

Take a journey through history at 315 Tift College Drive.
