Explore Sope Creek Paper Mill Ruins
Tucked into the woods on the banks of Sope Creek, stone ruins offer a beautiful, haunting hiking destination. Hike the Sope Creek trail and explore serene woodlands and Rocky Creek sides. This family friendly trail features the remains of one of George's biggest paper mills. Once a leader in paper manufacturing, the mill was destroyed in 1864 by the Union Army on their march to Savannah. Today, the ruins are a popular attraction for photographers, history buffs, and tourists.
Shoot the Hooch
Shootin' the Hooch is a bucket list experience for anyone in the East Cobb area. Choose from one of several raft trip outfitters in the area, bring your friends, bring your cooler, and come prepared to get wet. Weather permitting, your guide will help you enter the water with a tube, canoe, or kayak. The Chattahoochee River is slow and easy to navigate, but you will definitely need sunscreen.
Eat!
East Cobb restaurants are some of the best around. From casual cuisine to fantastic fine dining, there’s something delicious for everyone in the Marietta area. We suggest avoiding the big name chain restaurants. Instead, try to find a locally owned East Cobb restaurant with seasonal menu offerings. Whether you choose prime steaks and seafood or burgers and salads, don’t forget to get a little something for your sweet tooth. There’s no better way to end the day after exploring East Cobb!
Next time you’re in East Cobb, join us at McCray's Tavern and enjoy farm to fork recipes and special menu offerings.
