About Constitution Lakes
Constitution Lakes is a wildlife preserve in South Dekalb County, Atlanta Georgia. Once the site of a brickyard, the lakes were created when water filled the clay excavation pits. The brick operation was shut down nearly 50years ago, and now the property has been restored by nature to a wetland habitat capable of sustaining birds, fish, wildlife, and a wide range of plant species.

DeKalb County bought the 125-acre property in 2003 and added a parking lot, a paved walkway down to the lakes and a boardwalk around one end of the lakes. It’s a good spot for birding, with water and shorebirds as well as forest birds in the woods around the lakes. There is a train track–still used–on the back side of the lakes with a road alongside that goes to the South River where the train crosses over. From Constitution Lakes webpage
