Whether on a road or on a mountain trail, riding a bicycle
is a fun and healthy activity, and it's a great way to explore Georgia. On this episode we join a number of bike enthusiasts as they see the state from the unique vantage point of a bike.

First, Georgia Outdoors visits Up the Creek Without a Pedal, an annual bike ride in Rome that offers something for cyclists of all skill levels. We'll also check in with the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign and take a fun ride around the city. We explore a few mountain biking trails as well. All this and more!

Premiere Episode: Held in Trust

Premiere Episode!
Georgia Outdoors: Held in Trust

Friday, Jan 18 at 9:30 PM

Tuesday, Jan 20 at 7:30 PM

Georgia's history is diverse and rich with stories of triumph and tragedy. From Native American burial mounds to plantations to civil war fortifications, physical remnants of this past have been left behind in the form of buildings and structures. Many of these locations are preserved and open to the public. On this episode, we'll trace Georgia's history through its historic sites and see how the staff at these locations work to make history come alive. We join a torchlight tour of the Etowah Mounds near Cartersville, and find out about syrup making at the Jerrell Plantation. Finally, we'll see how archaeologists are continually digging up new elements of Georgia's history and feature the restoration of Hardman Farm, a historic dairy farm in Helen.

Georgia Outdoors Photography Contest

Extended Submission Deadline!

The Georgia Outdoors Nature Photography Contest submission deadline has been extended.

As you may or may not have noticed, Georgia Public Broadcasting has launched a new website. Unfortunately, that website launch made it difficult for Georgia Outdoors to post our Annual Nature Photography Rules and Regulations until very recently. Therefore, Georgia Outdoors will be extending the submission deadline for the contest until the end of January!

We strongly encourage each and everyone one of you to submit your photo(s) for judging in our contest. And tell your friends. Each year we feature three photographers on Georgia Outdoors: The Grand Prize Winner and the First and Second Place Winners on a Georgia Outdoors television. We also feature many of the photographs submitted by all of our talented runners-up.

Good Luck!

This Week on Georgia Outdoors

Any weekend throughout the year offers plenty of outdoor recreation opportunities in Georgia. Mild winters and long springs and falls invite Georgians to do everything from rafting and hiking to hunting and fishing.

Join us for A Georgia Outdoors Guide to Never Spending a Weekend at Home. We'll explore outdoor activities month by month for Georgians and our visitors. For example, in January, you can visit Sky Valley in North Georgia and learn to snow ski and the next weekend cycle with the Coastal Bicycle Touring Club on the warm coast! March offers both the chance to hunt a turkey, and to raft the Chattooga River. But don't forget fishing and camping. Once the weather heats up, we'll tell you where to go diving one weekend and caving another. And if you've never gone birding, we'll show you what you've been missing and how many places there are to bird in Georgia.

September offers lots of hunting opportunities and Georgia is rich in public fishing areas where you can "wet a hook" all year long. The cooler weather of November offers clear night skies for star gazing and in December you can skip the malls and participate in the Partners in Flight Christmas Bird Counts. So, be careful, if you watch this program, you'll have no excuse to stay at home!
