Robin Lake Beach and The Flying HIgh Circus

Early spring is not the season for tourist to be at Robin Lake so it was quiet and peaceful.  Robin Lake Beach is the world's largest man-made, white sand beach.  The beach stretches a mile around 65-acres.  The Florida State University Flying High Circus have taken up residence at the beach every summer since 1961. During the summer, the circus conducts a recreation program and performs seven shows weekly under the big top adjacent to the beach.   twenty five dedicated students from the Flying High Circus live and work at the gardens, working as performers and camp counselors.

We visited Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain and hiked the Holly Trail and Thornhill Hydrangea Garden Trail in Meadowlark Gardens.

Teenage Memories of Robin Lake

In the 1970's, there were not too many places in Columbus Georgia to go swimming so it was a real treat to take a trip to Robin Lake at Callaway Gardens for a picnic and all day of swimming.  It was always packed with fun loving teens and I have many good memories of the beach at Robin Lake.
