Outdoor Recreation

The mission of the Outdoor Recreation Program is to provide a comprehensive program of outdoor leisure activities for members of the military community.

Georgia offers a wide variety of outdoor recreation activities. Within a 5 hour drive you could be whitewater rafting during the summer or snow skiing in the winter. The coastal rivers offer tremendous fishing, sailing, water skiing and boating pleasures. Some folks call this the sportsman's paradise with the 280,000 acres which are full of game for both the hunter and the nature watcher, 30 managed ponds, the Canoochee River running through the installation and the Ogeechee River skirting the northern boundary, all providing some of the best fishing around. Record bass and monster crappie have been harvested over the years from these waters. The Georgia coastline is unique with its barrier islands.
