The south has some pretty great museum ships. North Carolina in Wilmington, Alabama in Mobile, Yorktown and Laffey in Charleston. Couple submarines in Galveston. I think the USS Texas might be closed though. Probably a few I'm not remembering.

tallulah gorge, the highway crosses it so access is easy, but you do need a permit to get to the bottom of the falls

deep south is only Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama nowadays

oh um not the DEEP south but do not miss the samuel mudd house museum, it's where john wilkes booth fled after shooting lincoln and I had a FASCINATING tour guide who used the word NEGRO during the tour (5 years ago?) and it was a really interesting perspective

Black Rock Mountain State Park is also good.
Rafting the Chatooga from Clayton is good.
Cloudland Canyon in Georgia also.
Montgomery is a pleasant city to grab lunch and stroll around downtown in daytime check out the State Capitol. At least on a bluebird fall day.
Fishing in Louisiana is good if you have the money.
Timing is key. Summer is hot as fuck. The zone is late October/November and April, minus the tornadoes.
It's for specific purposes though. Half the stuff is really mountain and therefore not really the Deep South even if it's technically South of Tennessee.
You can cut the racial tension with a knife in Alabama/Georgia.

>Black Rock Mountain State Park is also good.
Is that the one where you drive up and pay 7 bucks and there's not even an indoor toilet they make you use the porta potty but the view is right next to where you park?

I think I did that one. I wanna say there's something else similarly named like Black Rock in TN on the cumberland trail with views from the cumberland front but I have to look that up to know.
I rafted the nantahala. I liked Clayton, that was an interesting, quiet area, less crowded than the smokies.
>Cloudland Canyon in Georgia also.
done it
>main overlook closed
absolutely fuck you
also parking area WAY undersized and no overflow area

>montgomery
I stay in the hills but I appreciate the other suggestions always looking for stuff in north georgia and north alabama

There is a good view right by where you park, there are several trails one of which is a pleasant loop with a nice summit with views in the opposite direction from the lot.
The Nantahala, anyone who can swim can just rent their own rubber kayak. The Chatooga, the full day trip I did, there were some serious drops, flipping, and beatdowns handed out by the river.

Helen and Dahlonega get name-dropped. I liked Hiawassee. Bell Mountain was a killer place to enjoy a sunset with killer views. Some other waterfall hikes but I didn't want to risk my sedan driving streams crossing the road. Enough current, depth, and holes/bumps to dissuade me.

lolno
there was one rapid they were like, ok you can get out of the boat and swim this one, nearly cracked my skull open doing it, nah son I stick to guided boat tours
>The Chatooga, the full day trip I did, there were some serious drops, flipping, and beatdowns handed out by the river.

that sounds nice, the nantahala was too easy except the last drop, and I had to dive into the boat for it anyways

I just like wave-trains tbqh, not drops
>Helen and Dahlonega get name-dropped.
yeah I've been through that area, probably where I'd stay if visiting

>Bell Mountain was a killer place to enjoy a sunset with killer views
i'm not familiar

> Some other waterfall hikes but I didn't want to risk my sedan driving streams crossing the road
hmmm I wonder if that was the same one I did, maybe not but I did a waterfall next to lake clayton I guess that is in georgia, got yelled at by a boomer for bad parking cuz there was no good spots left, tiny parking area, and there was an easy way in where most of the drive was near the lake and paved, but I took the scenic way out to get to tallulah gorge after and THAT does involve a water crossing by car, interestingly popped up as a yellow "slow" area on my nav system, but water was low and I have an SUV so it was fine, I wonder if that's what you mean or something else.
