Readers' Choice 'Staycation' Winner: Stone Mountain Park!

Hardly surprising, really. We asked readers to vote on a great place nearby to escape to. The resounding answer? Stone Mountain Park.

It's only a few miles away, and you can even see the mountain itself from various spots in Tucker.

So what else does Stone Mountain Park have going for it? Well, the directory listing in says this: "The five-square-mile park is home to attractions, entertainment and recreational activities, including hiking, fishing, cable car rides, a "ride the ducks" tour, a laser show, an indoor gaming room, train rides, mini and standard golf, a 4D movie theater, live entertainment throughout the year, and a campground where you can hook up an RV or pitch a tent."

The park also contains hotels, restaurants and "shops that sell souvenirs, gifts and artisan products."

Personally, I like taking a boat out on the lake.

Next week we'll be asking you to vote on your favorite ice cream/frozen yogurt place in Tucker. The polls starts early Monday morning and concludes on Friday.

See you then.
