Woodstock - Georgia - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels

Just 25 miles from Atlanta, you will find the city of Woodstock, Georgia, home to about 10,000 residents. This area of the state has more flat land than most other areas and offers easy access to many major centers. The city itself is more than 100 years old and the many older homes and buildings attest to this fact. The first gristmills in the country were built near the town because of the ease of getting waterpower from the many nearby lakes. These lakes are also a source of enjoyment for residents and tourists that like fishing, swimming, boating and other water sports.

When you visit Woodstock, you have to visit the Historical Train Depot. Here you can get a glimpse of what life was like when the trains were the main form of transportation for the area. Sit in an old caboose located next to the depot and pretend that you were one of those pioneer travelers. For some quiet time, you can relax in the beautiful Woodstock City Park where you will find many benches where you can just sit and drink in the sights and sounds of Woodstock, not to mention the breathtaking scenery. There are concerts in this park on Sunday evenings throughout the summer. At Dupree Park, you can get your exercise by walking the nature trail, enjoy a game of tennis or have a picnic in one of the covered pavilions.
