Georgia State Park Lodges Introduce New 'Lodge-ical' Rates

/PRNewswire/ -- Georgia State Parks invite guests to enjoy a vacation in lodges with a new, lower "Lodge-ical" rate that starts at $69 per night. Available now, guests can experience an affordable overnight escape for as little as $69 at George T. Bagby State Park on Lake Walter F. George, Little Ocmulgee State Park in McRae and Red Top Mountain State Park on Lake Allatoona. A new Lodge-ical rate of $79 is now available at Amicalola Falls State Park near Dawsonville and Unicoi State Park near Helen. Guests can call 1-800-864-PARK (7275) to book their vacations with the new Lodge-ical rate.

"Our new Lodge-ical rate allows more people to take an affordable vacation in Georgia's great outdoors with the comfort of hotel-style accommodations," said Sally Winchester, marketing manager for Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites. "A vacation at a state park lodge offers visitors a chance to slow down and reconnect with each other and nature in our parks' true beauty. It's a vacation unlike any other."

From waterfalls at Amicalola Falls State Park to water hazards on the championship golf courses at George T. Bagby and Little Ocmulgee state parks, the lodges offer a wide variety of recreation. Each destination offers fresh-air outings designed to help visitors disconnect from their daily routine and reconnect with the great outdoors. Experience nature-filled hiking trails by day and reflect under a canopy of stars at night. There is mountain biking for the more adventurous, leisurely boating and fishing on scenic lakes, and tennis and golf for those that enjoy a bit of competition in their vacation. Completing the sense of escape from the everyday, all lodges offer on-site dining so guests can stay right at the park.

The Lodge-ical rate applies to new reservations in a standard, double room booked for weekdays (Sunday -- Thursday). Overnight guests can start their mornings with a free continental breakfast for two (full breakfast at Unicoi) which is included in the new Lodge-ical rate. Rates are based on availability and cannot be combined or transferred with any other packages or promotions. To book the new Lodge-ical rate, guests can call 1-800-864-PARK (7275).
