Does anyone know of any lost and forgotten cemeteries? My wife and I like to explore and find places like this.

Would be glad to help, but I lost them and forgot where they are. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Good luck with your search. Welcome to ODT.
There is one behind Clarke Middle School in Athens. There is also one very near Whitehead Road elementary School also in Athens.
there are several around the north Lamar, Monroe county line area.Dean RD @the county line,Potts Cemetry RD has a couple late 1700's-1800's era.Treadwell rd off hwy 42 south of Forsyth has a couple.go ride the back dirt roads in Lamar Monroe and north Bibb county and you'll find all you want.i'v been doing aerial mapping and surveying for 30 years and i'v ran across 100's, in some places with no roads and only a trail leading to them.i did the original survey for the doppler radar tower for the weather center in Peachtree city.the location was chosen and we went to do the survey and we started finding stones and shallow places in the ground.on further checking we discovered an old old old lost cemetry.
I've used MapCarta as a resource for finding historical sites in Georgia, including cemetaries.
Just doing a Google search and following a few leads can sometimes be interesting as well. There's some interesting History in gravesites and other old ruins in Georgia. For example, Google Dan Tucker's grave. That's a pretty interesting place, although a bit of a drive from Warner Robbins.

Thanks for the info guys!
A little far from you and I have confirmed this but there was a small "forgotten" cemetery in what is now a small bunch of trees in the middle of field where they park cars for the Powers Crossroads fair in Coweta County (Newnan) every fall. I just Googled it and found this site reference it: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ala1davis/genealogy/states/georgia/coweta/powerscrossroads/powersxroads.html
Old slave grave yard on my farm, some large rocks make an above ground coffin(likely not a slave), special rocks at heads and toes, one is small enough it appears to be an infant. You can tell it was once growing land as the forrested area is terraced.
There is one in riverdale off upper riverdale road near arrowhead blvd. Its all wooded up. You would not know its there unless you have walked in those woods.
Keep the helpful insight coming! Does anyone know of any in the Central Georgia (Macon/Warner Robins/Perry/Hawkinsville/Dublin) areas?
