Looking for suggestions
Somewhere withing a days drive from Orlando
Northern Ga?
She id too young to do a ride like that but we will most likely trailer the bikes.
She is 8 and loves to ride, but gets bored fast.
Want to do some canoeing hiking fishing... Camping.
And a bit of riding.  Wink

Any thoughts?

No, we want get out of the swamps of Florida.
We always took our kids camping. In all of the states we have lived. We spent a lot of time camping in the Adirondacks, in New York.
Camping blows in Florida.
We want to take the city girl into the country. She is a tomboy in a goofy dress.

"camping" here mostly means a camper, or some designated tent sites. But it could
be a base of operations with a shower and stuff...There's a good swimming lake, with a high dive and a
low dive and a platform to jump off of, me and Carolyn go up there to swim on hot days sometimes. They
have canoes for the lake...

All the places where you can raft down the Chattooga are up there.

Places to hike and "wilderness" camp (The Foothills Trail in particular, especially cool on the
Eastatoe River in the next county over) are there.

Eastatoe is a renowned trout stream, I was just talking to someone who was fishing on the
Chauga this weekend, the Chauga runs through there... and they must fish on the Chattooga too...

Motorcycle roads are there.
