Things to Do Near Sandy Springs, Georgia
Sandy Springs runs along more than 22 miles of Chattahoochee River shoreline, and the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area's Island Ford unit — headquartered in the historic Hewlett Lodge — anchors much of the city's outdoor appeal with kayaking, fishing on a stocked trout stream, and hiking trails. Morgan Falls Overlook Park adds river views, a fishing pier, and a playground for a quieter afternoon. Downtown, the City Springs complex houses the 1,070-seat Byers Theatre and City Springs Theatre Company for Broadway-caliber shows, while the Heritage Sandy Springs Museum traces the city's growth from the natural spring that gave it its name to the thriving suburb it is today.
