Everybody deserves to see the beauty of the Georgia coast! We have a couple of docks here in Liberty County that have both ramps and stairs, so everyone can visit.

During your stroll, you will see bay, cypress & oak trees as well as palms, palmettos and magnolias.

Another great park to visit, situated right in the heart of Bryant Commons in Hinesville is the Veterans Memorial Walk. Liberty County has a rich military history dating back to the Revolutionary War, and this is a great place to visit and reflect on the lives of those who so bravely fought for our freedom. The paved path is lined with oak trees draped in Spanish moss to create the perfect setting for quiet time and reflection.
