This week's riddle describes a state park that is part of the park system's "Paddle Club." If you e-mail us the right answer, and you're the lucky winner, we'll send you an annual parks pass good for free parking at state parks compliments of the
Friends of Georgia State Parks.
At first, the lake looks small and old
Four-hundred-twelve acres all told
But in fact, the lake is man made
And in it you would not dare wade
Because the lake -- it has snakes
And turtles that snap, my gosh sakes!
And as for its size, that's also a trick
Since from the lake you will not leave quick
Yes, paddling, you will be enthralled
By a forest of cypress they call bald
These trees seem to go on forever
Now answer our riddle, short and clever
Send your answer to
gazette@gpb.org. You MUST include your name and address to win! You have until Friday, when we will reveal the answer. Good luck.
