  • Line Creek Nature Area: a 70-acre preserve on the Fayette-Coweta line with almost three miles of trails, granite outcrops along the creek, a fishing dock on a small pond, a gazebo and a rock amphitheater. The remains of 1800s mill dams are visible, and the Mule Rock trail has a carving to look for. The entrance is on Line Creek Drive, next to the shopping center off Highway 54. The parking area, restroom and pond are ADA accessible.
