My kids really enjoy being there. It is a place curious young people must go! There is a nature museum with lots of activities, trails to walk, to bike.

No, not at Sandy Creek Nature Center. There is kayaking at Sandy Creek Park (www.accgov.com/sandycreekpark) with a boat ramp - also at Ben Burton Park (www.accgov.com/benburton)

Is Cook trail open

No, Cook's Trail is closed between Sandy Creek Nature Center and Oxbow Loop due to some severe storm damage and flooding. Some folks do travel on Cook's Trail from Sandy Creek Park to Oxbow Loop and then return back to the park. It's about 5 miles round trip.

Will the hot air balloon festival be held in 2020 ?
