Darien is fortunate to be located along Georgia's Colonial Coast Birding Trail. Birdwatchers delight in spotting birds of prey, shorebirds, songbirds, wading birds, and many kinds of waterfowl. Fall and winter offers the best season for spotting raptors and waterfowl. Visitors may see a variety of species including the wood stork, swallow-tailed kite, bald eagle, king rail, painted bunting, mottled duck, wood duck, white ibis, glossy ibis, and purple gallanule. Many miles of pristine marshes and wetlands, and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, are two important factors making Darien a superb place to view and photograph a wide variety of birds and wildlife.

Visitors to Darien can enjoy excellent biking opportunities around the City. This is a great way to experience Darien's history and natural attractions. Bikers will find a marked trail along paved roads, in addition to several dirt-road trails. See the map of Darien for information on streets and waterways. In fact you can even rent a bike or two from a local business "The The Pedaling Pig" right in heart of Darien. www.thepedalingpig.com
