Escape to the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains

In the northernmost part of Georgia lies the base of the Blue Ridge Mountain chain, lending to the area’s surprisingly rugged and scenic beauty. Lush forests, flowing rivers, hidden waterfalls, and endless adventures await you and your family. Although located only an hour and a half north of Atlanta, you will feel like you’re in a different world entirely. 

Whether you’re looking for a romantic vacation for two or a weekend away with the guys or girls, the North Georgia Mountains has everything you need for fun and relaxation. With hundreds of miles of hiking trails and rivers to explore, you can spend your entire day outdoors taking in the mountain fresh air and breathtaking scenery. 

If you’re in the mood for some adventure, check out the local guided hikes such as the Blue Ridge Adventure Park, Noontootla Creek Farms, or Zipline Canopy Tours. Or enjoy nature’s waterparks by way of tubing, kayaking, or rafting the river. Take in a round of golf at the nearby Old Toccoa Farm, a challenging course that weaves its way through the elevation, and finish the day fishing Fannin County, the trout capital of Georgia. 

When you’re ready for a taste of the urban life, explore the nearby towns of Blue Ridge and McCaysville. Don’t let the small-town atmosphere fool you – plenty of shops, restaurants, breweries, wineries, and galleries await. Booking a shuttle or wine tours to one of the dozen plus nearby wineries will allow you to taste a variety of mountain wines, completing the day with views of the sunset from one of the many scenic outlooks. 

With so much to do and see, this is truly a location like none other.
