The Hazlehurst Diamond Railroad Crossing just outside of Baxley is a popular spot for photos and Diamond D rides. The railroad crosses a section of the Flint River on an old steel bridge.

The crossing used to be more dangerous as there was no guardrail, however, a new guardrail was installed. It's still a safe place to ride the train, but it's not as fun because you can't see over the rail.

The river offers recreational opportunities such as fishing, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, and swimming.
