Where Georgia Birding Begins

Kemp Park

Kemp Park is a hidden gem. It is a 94-acre property owned and managed by Cobb County Parks and Recreation. Multiple trails begin at the parking area,  allowing for the exploration of several miles of trails across various terrain. From rolling meadows to woodlands and a stream, birding this site can be extremely rewarding!
