Sunday Reset: Nature Walks & Wellness Stops in DeKalb

Sundays are for slowing down, breathing deeply, and giving yourself the reset you deserve. In DeKalb, we’re lucky to have nature trails, scenic parks, and wellness spots that make it easy to recharge before the week ahead. Whether you’re looking to clear your mind with a morning walk or nourish your body with a mindful meal, our county is full of peaceful escapes that turn your Sunday into pure self-care.

1. Start with a Sunrise Nature Walk

There’s something magical about beginning your day surrounded by fresh air and birdsong. Head to Mason Mill Park for a stroll along the tree-lined South Peachtree Creek Trail, or explore the serene paths of Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area where granite outcrops and wildflowers create a calming, almost otherworldly landscape. If you prefer a lakeside view, Stone Mountain Park offers trails that wind along the water and under canopies of golden autumn leaves.

2. Stretch It Out – with Goats!

Take your Sunday reset to the next level with Goat Yoga in Tucker, where playful goats wander among participants during your yoga session. It’s part workout, part laughter therapy, and all-around joy. This lighthearted twist on yoga not only gives you a gentle stretch but also fills your morning with pure happiness—because nothing says “relax” like a goat nuzzling your mat.

3. Refuel with a Wellness Brunch

After your walk and yoga session, head to Garden Life Juice Bar + Market in Stonecrest—a plant-based café that turns healthy eating into an art form. From colorful smoothie bowls to fresh-pressed juices and nourishing grain plates, every dish here is designed to fuel your body and lift your mood. The bright, cozy atmosphere makes it the perfect place to linger, savor, and soak in those Sunday vibes.

4. Pamper Yourself

For a full-service wellness experience, head to Privi in Stonecrest—a lifestyle destination offering beauty, spa, and personal care services all in one stylish space, perfect for indulging before the week ahead.

5. End with a Sunset Stroll

Cap off your Sunday with a slow-paced evening walk. The trails at Murphey Candler Park in Brookhaven are perfect for golden hour views, and the reflections on the water at sunset are picture-perfect.
