Georgia lies in the southeastern United States and its culture reflects the key role this state has played in the development of the region. The state can be split into three general regions: the northern, southern and central Georgia. The northern region of the state can further be separated into eastern and western areas. Northeastern Georgia is referred to as the highlands. It contains a portion of the Chattahoochee National Forest and Cohutta Wilderness, as well as several state parks. Other areas of interest to outdoor enthusiasts include Lake Altoona, Carter's Lake and Lake Conasauga. Four navigable rivers exist in the region for boating, swimming and fishing.

Georgia is the largest State east of the Mississippi River, and was founded in 1735 by James Oglethorpe, an Englishman who landed in Savannah and established the 13th colony in the New World. Georgia is the only State to be named after a British monarch. It is a mixture of the Old and New South, and is geographically diverse, with landscapes ranging from mountains in the northeast to the mysterious, low-lying Okefenokee Swamp in the south, called the land of the ‘trembling earth’ by the region’s Native American tribes. It was in this State that gold was first struck in North America in the early part of the 19th century, and the gold rush that followed centred around the town of Dahlonega. Georgia’s varied climate ranges from the low humidity of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the subtropical southern coastal region.

Recreation in Georgia is as varied as the population and terrain. A plethora of waterways through the state and along the coast provide access to water-oriented activities. The natural areas throughout the state have varied hiking and camping facilities.
