Steeped in mountain tradition, the town of Blue Ridge, Georgia provides a unique vacation experience in a breathtaking natural setting. Blue Ridge is located near the southern end of the Appalachian Trail, flanked by the Chattahoochee National Forest, and surrounded by the verdant Blue Ridge mountains.
Family-friendly Blue Ridge is the place to find great antique shopping, with local merchants up and down Main Street offering everything from hand-hewn washboards to Civil War memorabilia. Downtown is also the starting point of the historic Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad, where visitors can enjoy mountain vistas from closed or open-air cars.
A trip to nearby Mercier Orchards yields fresh-picked apples and peaches in season, and delicious southern style pastries, jams, and sauces year round. In the evenings, just a couple of blocks away from downtown Blue Ridge, movie lovers and fifties aficionados can watch first-run movies at the Swan Drive-in, one of only three authentic drive-in theaters in the state.
Mountain hiking and biking, horseback riding, kayaking, whitewater rafting, boating, and first-class trout fishing are all just moments away from town. For those who prefer just relaxing in nature's beauty, rocking chairs await on the porches of the area's many mountain cabins. Even the drive to Blue Ridge is a great scenic trip, winding into the mountains and along the Toccoa River in a car or on a motorcycle.
