    Excellent, knowledgeable staff. Fantastic programs, so many hands-on and accessible educational opportunities at this place. I have been taking my daughter there since she was a toddler, and have invited so many new friends to experience it. The boardwalk is well maintained, and you can tell they really value the area and their commitment to educating the community. Not to mention, tons of wildlife! Highly recommend it!

    Newman Wetlands Center is a wonderful place to take a nature walk. The main boardwalk is an easy walk surrounded by a beautiful wetland teeming with wildlife. It's a great place for to learn, do photography, and explore.

    A very gorgeous park. The trails were simple, and stayed focused on the marshlands. We even got to feed fish and spotted several kinds of turtles during our visit towards the ends of the trails!! There are educational signs everywhere, including plant identification plates. I believe their hours are from 9 - 4:30 ( but I could be wrong about their opening times) come check it out and ask about volunteering!! The main center is being redone and rebuilt, but if you press the button near the door, someone should come to greet you. Please be curious and wear a mask.

    The traditional image of Georgia is one of humid wetlands of filled with alligators and other exotic native creatures.

    While this image is mostly seriously outdated, there are a few places where it’s still possible to explore the state’s traditional wetlands.

    One is Newman Wetlands Center. An 800m raised boardwalk and crushed stone path dotted with interpretative signs help those new to wetlands understand their importance to the overall ecology of the state. They also highlight the local wildlife you should keep your eyes open for.

    Other more basic hiking trails detour away from the main path for an even more naturalistic experience. The main entrance is just 20 minutes’ drive from Stockbridge.
