Ocmulgee National Monument lies east of the city of Macon, Ga., and
adjacent to the city limits on that side. It may be reached from the
downtown area by crossing the Ocmulgee River to its east bank and
driving east either along Main Street or the Emery Highway to the
entrance. By the first route the distance from the Fifth Street bridge
is 1.2 miles; while it is 1.3 miles from the intersection where the
highway begins just a short distance beyond the Spring Street bridge.
