Weekend on the Trails: Cold Mornings Give Way to Sunny Afternoons
What is the weekend weather at Callaway Gardens, Providence Canyon and the RiverWalk?
Saturday and Sunday are dry and sunny across the Valley, with 8 AM readings of 36 at Callaway Gardens, 38 at Providence Canyon near Lumpkin and 38 on the Columbus RiverWalk, warming to the mid 50s Saturday afternoon and around 60 on Sunday.

If you only get one walk this weekend, make it Sunday afternoon. Both days are dry and bright across the viewing area, but the afternoon numbers climb a few degrees higher on Sunday, and the wind backs off to almost nothing. The flip side is how the days start. At 8 AM Saturday, parts of the Georgia side will be within a few degrees of freezing, and the swing from sunrise to mid-afternoon runs close to 20 degrees in some spots. Dress for both.
On the Chattahoochee RiverWalk between Columbus and Phenix City, Saturday starts at 38 degrees at 8 AM under full sun and reaches 57 by 2 PM, with the afternoon breeze picking up to about 10 mph along the open water. Sunday morning is 37 and the afternoon gets to 60 with the wind down to 5 mph. That Sunday afternoon is the most comfortable stretch of the weekend anywhere near Columbus.
Callaway Gardens at Pine Mountain runs colder than the river by a couple of degrees: 36 at 8 AM Saturday, 54 at 2 PM, then 35 and 58 on Sunday. Up on the ridge at F.D. Roosevelt State Park, between Pine Mountain and Warm Springs, the afternoons are the coolest in the area, 53 Saturday and 56 Sunday, both with a morning start near 36. Elevation and a 10 mph Saturday wind along the ridgetop mean a windbreaker matters more at Dowdell's Knob than it does down in the valley.
Providence Canyon near Lumpkin splits the difference, with 38 at 8 AM Saturday and 56 by 2 PM, then 37 and 60 on Sunday under a light 5 mph wind. The canyon floors sit in shadow longest in the morning, so the first hour there will feel like the number on your phone, not better.
The Alabama side wakes up warmest. Chewacla State Park near Auburn starts at 42 Saturday morning and 43 on Sunday, reaching 57 and 60 in the afternoons. Lakepoint State Park at Eufaula matches those mornings at 42 both days and takes the top afternoon reading of the weekend, 57 Saturday and 62 on Sunday. If you want a sunrise walk without a heavy coat, that is where to take it.
There is no rain in the forecast either day. Saturday is sunny everywhere on this list and Sunday is mostly sunny, so sunglasses and a hat earn their keep even in November.
Dress in layers you can shed: a real coat, and gloves if you are starting before 9 AM in Harris, Meriwether or Stewart County, with a long sleeve underneath for the walk back. The other thing to pack is time. Daylight here is down to 10 hours and 35 minutes and we lose about a minute and a half more every day, with the sun now setting before 5:45, so an afternoon that feels wide open at 2 PM is already going cold and dim by 4:30.
