Paradise Found in the North Georgia Mountains

Visitors will want to check out the Blue Ridge Visitor Center to gather all the information needed to maximize your visit, with deals and specials on a variety of activities running frequently. The City Park is a great place to sit and relax, people watch, and listen to live music that plays often throughout Blue Ridge. If you’re looking for that art scene we mentioned earlier, the Historic Fannin County Courthouse is home to the Blue Ridge Art Association’s Arts Center and features rotating galleries and exhibits from local artists.

For a fun family activity, spend the day picking apples and eating delicious treats at Mercier Orchards, a family-owned, 70-year-old apple orchard. Hot apple pies, fresh cider, caramel apples – it’s no wonder this location is kid-approved. 

Adults will enjoy a day trip to the Serenity in the Mountains Day Spa, offering a relaxing break from the excitement through a range of treatments including massages, aromatherapy, facials, or Salt Cave Sessions. End your day relaxing at the pebble lined beach of Morganton Point at Lake Blue Ridge, basking in the sun while taking in views of the lakeshore. 

Outside the town of Blue Ridge lies the wondrous wilderness of norther Georgia, with endless landscape and possibility. From horseback riding to waterfall hikes to exhilarating rafting trips and everything in between, you’ll quickly see why Blue Ridge is one of the most visited and beloved towns in the area. 

Make sure you plan your trip wisely to take in all this amazing location has to offer.
