Okefenokee water trails and Panola Mountain score funding

How it works: Every time you buy outdoor equipment in Georgia, a portion of the tax revenue goes into the GOSP.

• Since its overwhelming approval by Georgia voters in 2018, the fund has awarded well over $117 million to more than 60 projects across the state.

Zoom in: This year's slate of 12 projects, covering all corners of the state, totals $24.6 million. They include:

🛶 Waterway Trail Improvements at Stephen C. Foster State Park

• Paddling trails lined with cypress trees and sunbathing alligators in the state's gateway to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge are getting a $1.3 million update.

🌳 Expansion of Campbellton Park in Chattahoochee Hills

• The south Fulton County city is spending $1.9 million to acquire land and expand the park along the Chattahoochee River.

• Earlier this month, city officials cut the ribbon on new toilets, campsites and other amenities funded by the Trust for Public Land.

🚴 Ocmulgee Trail and Rose Hill Cemetery Connection in Macon

• Macon-Bibb County will spend $1 million developing the Ocmulgee Trail to Rose Hill Cemetery, a historic riverside rural cemetery and final resting place of Duane Allman.

🏞️ Additional funding will support the purchase of 180 acres to expand Panola Mountain, renovate Amicalola Falls State Park's day-use area, and more.
