Pixley Falls is about 18 miles north of Rome on Route 46. It's a beautiful place where you can go for a walk along the trail, or sit by the gorgeous waterfall, picnic, and even have a dip in the water.

Delta Lake was created in 1908, although the state park was only opened in 1962. It's a great place to go to relax, have a swim, or even take a boat out on the lake.
