Blue Ridge Country - May/June 2017 - 27
GEORGIA'S
Small Town CHARM
Blue Ridge
1. The Georgia mountain town of Blue
Ridge was established in 1886, when
the railroad came to town. Today, Blue
Ridge has the same small town charm,
but with upscale shopping and artsy
ambiance.
If you live anywhere in the southeast, you're within driving distance of Blue Ridge, GA, a favorite mountain destination only 90 miles north of Atlanta on the border of
Tennessee and North Carolina. Rent a cozy cabin or a
luxury mountain vacation home, or stay in a bed & breakfast inn or hotel - and simply relax. Take a ride on the
Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, which travels alongside the
Toccoa River to the town of McCaysville. Pick your own
fruit or sample a fried pecan (yes, that's pecan) pie at
Mercier Orchards.
Sample craft breweries, wineries, waterfalls, surprisingly
upscale shops, galleries and restaurants. Hike to a local
waterfall on the southern terminus of the Appalachian
Trail. At the end of the day, chill out by the fireplace or
enjoy a fabulous dinner at one of Blue Ridge's wonderful restaurants; the choices of dining spots are simply
amazing.
2. Enjoy a great lunch or dinner at one
of Blue Ridge's wonderful restaurants;
the choices are simply amazing.
