Description
The Sweetwater whitewater rapids are comprised of several small waterfalls, where gentle rapids cascade over a series of rocky ledges amidst a tranquil forest setting. The trees, tinged with the warm hues of a setting sun, frame the water’s edge, contributing to the serene atmosphere. A long exposure was used to provide the water with a smooth silky texture.
Sweetwater Creek State Park is a peaceful tract of wilderness only minutes from downtown Atlanta. A wooded trail follows the stream to the ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, a textile mill burned during the Civil War. Beyond the mill, the trail climbs rocky bluffs to provide views of the beautiful rapids below. Additional trails wind through fields and forest, showcasing ferns, magnolias, wild azaleas and hardwoods. Park rangers lead informative hikes to these areas throughout the year.
