Cascade Springs Nature Preserve
Cascade Springs Nature Preserve, Nature preserve in Southwest Atlanta, United States.
The 135-acre preserve contains walking trails through dense forest, leading visitors past streams toward a three-tiered waterfall and historic springhouse.
During the Battle of Utoy Creek in 1864, Confederate troops built earthworks throughout the area, resisting Union forces advancing toward Atlanta.
The preserve became protected land in 1979 after local residents formed a committee to save the former nature resort from urban development.
The preserve opens daily from 8 AM to 11 PM with parking gates closing at 3 PM on weekdays, allowing dogs on leash throughout the trails.
The site features 250-million-year-old rock formations and three artesian springs that were once bottled and sold for their mineral content.
