One of the bridges he built was adjacent to The Bridge House….there is a gateway overlook for his now-gone bridge in the back of the house. His construction was so well done that his reputation led to a significantly popular business. King built a number of bridges in the area. The Welcome Center is downtown on RiverFront Park at The Bridge House, which is cornerstone to a historical account that touched my heart. Horace King, a former slave that bought his freedom and made a name for himself around Georgia and Alabama, constructed the building.

Today that is complete, and it’s a wonderful place to slip in your canoe or kayak. When we visited there was not a great place to put in a kayak, but they were working on some decking right behind the Visitor’s Center. There are also fountains for kids to run through, so bring a bathing suit or at least a towel. Visitor’s can sit on a piano key and listen to Ray play. The trailhead is already completed and includes Turtle Grove Play Park, which is a great playground for the kids and Ray Charles Plaza featuring a life-sized sculpture of the singer. Eventually they will connect downtown to Chehaw. Still in development, the park includes three miles of trails. Don’t ask the boys if it was educational, though…they only know they had a great time! Riverfront ParkĪlong the Flint River, and across the street from the RiverQuarium is RiverFront Park. It gave our family a great appreciation for the diversity of the Flint River, on which this aquarium resides. It is an opportunity for children (and adults) to use all of their senses in learning about the importance of the natural resources in the area, and the uniqueness of the Flint River watershed.Īn albino alligator, shark eggs, a blue hole spring, and SCUBA diving capers….my boys were in their element! We learned about Blue Holes, watched alligator feedings, peered at shark eggs, and walked with birds through the aviary.
