Ben Burton Park - Athens, GA

615 Mitchell Bridge Rd, Athens, GA 30606

As a 32-acre wildlife preserve located off Mitchell Bridge Road, Ben Burton has a lot of variety including pretty pathways, open fields, big mature trees, and a rocky creek for your dog’s photo session in Athens.

This park has beautiful light in both morning and evening. The morning light is much softer and generally the park is pretty empty early in the morning. Evenings at Ben Burton are busier with people taking advantage of walking along the shaded pathway.
