May is one of the best times to enjoy everything our charming town has to offer. Whether you’re planning weekend adventures, prepping for summer travels, or just doing a little spring cleaning, there’s no better time to get outside and get organized.

Here are a few fun local activities to check out in Blakely this month—plus a few helpful reminders on how Blakely Self Storage can make your spring a little easier!

Discover Blakely: Activities You Can Do This May

1. Take a Day Trip to Kolomoki Mounds State Park
Just a short drive from downtown Blakely, Kolomoki Mounds is one of Georgia’s oldest and most fascinating historical parks. It’s perfect for a spring outing with scenic walking trails, lakeside picnic spots, and educational exhibits about the Native American cultures that once lived here. Bring your fishing pole, hiking boots, and camera—you’ll want to spend the whole day.

2. Support Local at the Farmers Market
May marks the beginning of peak season for fresh produce in Georgia. Stop by the Blakely farmers market to pick up locally grown fruits, vegetables, homemade jams, and handmade crafts. If you're a vendor or frequent shopper, keeping extra supplies in a self storage unit can help you stay organized and ready for each market weekend.

3. Prep for Summer Adventures
Whether you're gearing up for lake trips, RV getaways, or backyard BBQs, May is the perfect time to declutter and make room for your summer lifestyle. Store off-season clothing, holiday decorations, or unused furniture to create more space at home. Our affordable self storage options at Blakely Self Storage make it simple.

Storage Tips for a Smoother Spring

1. Store Your Winter Gear
Swap out heavy coats, holiday decorations, and cold-weather tools for swimsuits, lawn chairs, and gardening gear. Using easy storage solutions helps you free up closets and garages without parting with items you’ll need again in the fall.

2. Protect Your Outdoor Equipment
If you enjoy fishing, boating, or camping, you know the gear adds up. Keep it safe, dry, and organized in one of our secure storage units. With 24/7 access, you can grab your equipment whenever adventure calls.

3. Simplify Renovations or Spring Projects
May is a popular time for home improvements. Whether you're painting a room, remodeling a kitchen, or redoing your landscaping, storing extra furniture or supplies can help keep your home clean and your project stress-free.
