At the edge of Oconee National Forest on Lake Oconee,
The North Shore Resort is built upon the site of the Old Carey Station
Depot. Old train cars have become the resorts accommodations,
offices, comfort stations, and the clubhouse, making it one of the
most unique campground resorts in North America. Here in Greene
County, scenic Lake Oconee is a perfect site for fishing, boating,
skiing, sailing, and swimming. The 19,050-acre lake, with its 235
miles of shoreline also offers picnic areas, beaches, and boat ramps
and docks. Many Creek and Cherokee Indian artifacts can be found
along the banks of Lake Oconee as well as in stream beds.
The 1807 Old Greene County Gaol, or jail, in Greensboro,
intrigues present-day visitors. Harsh conditions were imposed on
prisoners held in the underground cells of the jail which had no
light or ventilation except for grated ceiling windows and underground
doors. Leaving the forlorn depths of the jail behind, visitors find
in Greensboro a city brimming with Antebellum homes, Victorian buildings,
and a beautiful Greek Revival courthouse.
Four of the many magnificent golf courses in this Classic
South Region of Georgia can be found right here in Greene
County. Bordered on the west by Lake Oconee and on the east by Clarks
Hill Lake and the Savannah River, the region has six state parks
and at least 26 golf courses.
The region is formed from two distinct geographical regions
making sightseeing very interesting the Piedmont Plateau
to the north and the Atlantic Coastal Plain to the south. A fall
line, where rivers form falls and rapids, divides the rolling hills
of the Piedmont or upcountry from the softer ground
of the coastal flat land. Romantic travelers are sure to be charmed
by the regions covered bridges. |
