Reynolds Nature Preserve
For more than 50 years, Judge William Reynolds worked to transform worn-out farmland into a botanical paradise filled with native plants, especially wild azaleas. In 1976, shortly before his death, the judge donated his private retreat to the people of Clayton County for a public park.
Today, the 146-acre nature preserve is scored by a four-mile network of trails that pass a 19th-century farmhouse and wind through forested hills and along the shores of several small ponds teeming with fish, turtles and other wildlife.
