Summer Bucket List for Dad (And the Whole Family)
Fun, local ways to soak up the season with the guy who does it all
Summer in Georgia has a little bit of everything—lazy afternoons, lake days, fresh peaches, and time well spent with the people we love most. And with Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect excuse to plan a few fun adventures with Dad (or any father figure in your life).
Here’s a casual, family-friendly Georgia summer bucket list inspired by everything dads love—no fancy planning required.
A drive through Georgia backroads in June or July isn’t complete without pulling over for fresh peaches or ice cream. Try Gregg Farms in Concord, Dickey Farms in Musella, or pop into a roadside stand on the way.
Whether it’s a local pond, Lake Jackson, or High Falls State Park, grab the tackle box and let Dad show off his fishing skills—or teach someone new. Bonus if there’s a picnic after.
Build a firepit, paint the deck, or finally put up that porch swing. A low-pressure project is a great way to bond (and get something done around the house!).
You don’t have to throw a big party—just fire up the grill, invite a few friends or family, and enjoy the sunset. Let Dad be the grill master (or give him the night off—dealer’s choice).
Check out the Covered Bridge in Euharlee, go tubing in Helen, or wander through a local small town like Senoia or Madison. A short drive can lead to a great memory.
Summer is prime time for farm visits! Try Honeywood Farms or Sweet Magnolia Farmstead for U-pick flowers, or Southern Belle Farm for berries and fresh produce.
Kayaking, axe throwing, disc golf, or even just checking out a new local restaurant. Dads love an excuse to try something a little different, especially with good company.
No matter how you celebrate this summer, it’s really about the simple things—time together, good food, and maybe a little sunshine. Save this list or pick one thing and run with it.
