Whether you're into the fast-paced or the tranquil lifestyle, Henry County's recreation and entertainment options abound. Of course, Henry County is accessible to Atlanta's sports, dining, concert venues and nightlife, but the "Comfortably South" county has plenty of alternatives on its own.

Henry County is home to the Atlanta Motor Speedway, one of NASCAR's fastest tracks, which hosts the Atlanta Auto Fair each June as well as Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck series races, drag racing and Indy Racing League contests.

On the links, Henry County offers some of metro Atlanta 's best golf courses, including Eagles Landing Country Club, a 27-hole Tom Fazio-designed course that has served as host to the LPGA Charity Championships. Other notable Henry County courses include Georgia National Golf Club and Cotton Fields Golf Club.

For families, the Henry County parks system and Panola Mountain State Conservation Park offer walking trails and outdoor recreation, including youth sports leagues and day camps. Henry County is also emerging as a retail mecca, with Tanger Outlet Center in Locust Grove off I-75, Henry Town Center and a number of lifestyle centers currently under development.

Additionally, Henry County's arts community continues to thrive. The Festival Ballet Company, Henry Players and the Henry Arts Alliance all create opportunities for artists to become involved in local performances for the community's benefit. Spivey Hall, located just north of Henry County at Clayton State University , is one of the most important music venues in Georgia and plays host to many of the world's greatest classical and jazz musicians.
