SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — In Georgia, an estimated 480,250 people in Georgia are affected by colorblindness.
Among the 14.3 million annual visitors to Georgia State Parks last year, an estimated 607,000 were color blind, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said. That’s why some three Georgia Parks will now offer free colorblind-adapting glasses for those with red-green deficiencies.
The three state parks are:
- Cloudland Canyon State Park, Dade County : One of Georgia’s largest state parks, Cloudland Canyon is known for its dramatic overlooks, sandstone cliffs and waterfalls. This northwest Georgia park is a prime destination for leaf-peepers. GaStateParks.org/CloudlandCanyon
- Sweetwater Creek State Park, Douglas County: Just west of Atlanta, Sweetwater Creek offers outstanding hiking trails with fall foliage on display through mid-November. GaStateParks.org/SweetwaterCreek
- Skidaway Island State Park, Chatham County : Minutes from Savannah, Skidaway Island features beautiful low-country scenery, Spanish moss-draped live oaks and tidal marshes. GaStateParks.org/SkidawayIsland
