If you live anywhere in the
southeast, you’re within driving

Georgia’s favorite
mountain town, only 90
miles north of Atlanta
via I-575, but a million
miles away from the
city. Hop in the car, turn
on the radio and soon
you’ll be on Blue Ridge
time, enjoying some
peace and quiet in
the beauty of the Blue
Ridge foothills. Rent a

2 beautiful mountain scenery
Experience Mother Nature at her best.
Winter, summer, spring
and fall, Georgia’s Blue
Ridge is simply beautiful.
Winter is cool and quiet
with occasional snow.
Spring is best for trout
fishing, wildflowers,
blooming dogwoods
and native azaleas.
Summer brings a profusion of mountain laurel
and rhododendron
blossoms, along with
warmer water for tubing
& rafting. Blue Ridge
is the perfect place to
celebrate the harvest
and the glorious color
of fall, or to enjoy the
holidays with family
and friends. The best
way to experience the
beauty of the mountains and countryside
is on one of our three
scenic driving tours.

6 Blue Ridge Scenic Railway
Don’t miss the train!
Discover amazing
eating choices.
3 small town charm
Fall in love with quaint mountain towns.
You will fall in love with
the authentic mountain
towns of Blue Ridge
and McCaysville. Blue
Ridge was once con-
sidered an elite health
resort because of its
pure mineral waters.
It was established as
a railroad town, with
the depot at its heart.
Visitors would ride the
train to town, eat dinner
and take a leisurely
walk to the mineral
springs after dinner.
Today, visitors still ride
the train and take a
walk along Main Street,
enjoying the antique
and specialty shops,
galleries, restaurants,
small town atmosphere and friendly
people. A river runs
through the quaint
town of McCaysville,
twin city with Copperhill, Tennessee. Stand
in both states at one
time at the Blue Line,
which marks the spot
where Georgia ends
and Tennessee begins.
Here the Toccoa River
becomes the Ocoee
River, flowing northward into Tennessee.
Local food is an
essential part of the
trip when you visit
Georgia’s Blue Ridge.
You’ll find a common
ingredient shared by
local restauranteurs—
a passion for the outdoorsy, earthy, upscale,
fresh, historical town—
a mixing bowl of town
and country flavors
that meld just right to
create amazing eating
choices. Add three
local breweries to the
mix and you’ve got a
pretty eclectic dining
experience in a small
town setting. But don’t
forget, there are some
things you just have to
eat when you come
to the mountains:
local mountain trout,
barbeque, fried apple
pies, biscuits, grits and
sausage gravy—just to
name a few.
5 Arts, Theater & Live Music
Enjoy Blue Ridge’s artsy vibe.
Blue Ridge has an artsy
vibe, with a vibrant
arts scene and great
community theater
to sweeten your Blue
Ridge experience.
Visit the Blue Ridge
Mountains Arts Center,
located in the beautifully renovated Fannin
County Courthouse, a
historic canvas to showcase the talent of artists
drawn to the area for its
scenery and quiet lifestyle. The amazing Blue
Ridge Community Theater has a full calendar
of drama, comedy and
musical productions,
including an acoustic
music series, Live Music
is Better. In the summertime, Pickin’ in the
Park, a casual jam session for acoustic musicians, is held under
the trees and pavilions
along the Toccoa River
at Horseshoe Bend
Park. See our website
events calendar for
updated information
about festivals arts and
entertainment. For info
about special exhibits and events at The
Art Center, see www.
blueridgearts.net; book
theater tickets online at
BlueRidgeCommunity
Theater.com.
Don’t miss the train!
Take a ride on the Blue
Ridge Scenic Railway,
which runs along the
Toccoa River from Blue
Ridge to McCaysville.
Board the train at
the historic depot in
Blue Ridge. The view
changes with the
seasons, wildflowers
and mountain laurel in
the spring, rhododen-
dron in the summer,
gorgeous foliage in
the fall and a ride with
Santa and his elves for
Christmas. Special trips
are planned throughout
the year, including the
Easter Eggspress in the
spring and Pumpkin
Train in the fall. Open
April through December. Call 1-800-934-1898

The most popular
family pastime in the
summer is probably
tubing the clear, chilly
Toccoa River either
above the Lake Blue
Ridge dam on Aska
Road or below in McCaysville. But there are
lots of ways to enjoy
our rivers, streams and
lakes, including rafting
the exciting Ocoee
River, renting canoes
or kayaks, pontooning
or stand-up paddling
on Lake Blue Ridge, or
simply sitting on the
bank and watching the
river flow.
The best water parks
are those created by nature. Morganton Point
on Lake Blue Ridge
is a Chattahoochee
National Forest recreation area with camping, fishing, swimming
beach and picnic areas,
kayak and paddleboard
rentals. Another favorite
spot for families is the
Ocoee Whitewater
Center just over the
Tennessee state line,
where the Olympic
kayak slalom course is
perfect for wading and
sliding over the rocks
when the river is not
running (weekdays).
The Whitewater Center
is also a great place for
hiking and biking with
kids. Be sure to bring
water shoes for the kids
at either location.
