4 days in Covington Itinerary

Covington is a city and the county seat of Newton County, Georgia, located 35 miles east of Atlanta. Museum-lovers will get to explore Georgia's Old Governor's Mansion and Pop-Up TV and Film Museum. Visit Monastery of the Holy Spirit and Cedar Lane Cemetery for their historical value. Change things up with these side-trips from Covington: High Falls State Park (in Jackson), Athens (Downtown Athens, Georgia Museum of Art, &more) and Locust Grove (Noah's Ark Rehabilitation Center & Tanger Outlets Locust Grove). It doesn't end there: get thoroughly spooked out with a ghost and vampire tour and play a few rounds at Reynolds Lake Oconee.
