Surround yourself with beauty, relaxation and natural fun in Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Enjoy a spectacular mountain view from the porch of one of our cozy mountain cabins or luxury vacation homes. Renew your spirit on a day hiking to nearby waterfalls or horseback riding on forested trails in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Looking for quiet romance or peace of mind? Try spending the day watching the sun glimmer across the aqua blue waters of Lake Blue Ridge or crystal clear Toccoa River.

Or perhaps you’re looking for a little more excitement. Bring the family and discover the thrill of an Ocoee River whitewater rafting adventure or a ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Catch a trout in one of our clear mountain streams; Blue Ridge is the Trout Fishing Capital of Georgia. Spend a day exploring our mountain art and culture, past and present, in the many galleries across the region or browse for antiques in the shops that line the mountain towns of Blue Ridge and McCaysville.

Blue Ridge, Georgia is located on the North Carolina – Tennessee line, only 1 ½ hours north of Atlanta via I-575- GA Hwy 515, within easy reach of the best attractions the Georgia mountains, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee foothills have to offer.

The Fannin County Chamber of Commerce is the official Destination Marketing Organization for the area. Make sure our new Fannin County Chamber Visitor Center, 152 Orvin Lance Drive, in Blue Ridge, is your first stop on a vacation in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains.

Weather
You may think we're a little biased, but the weather in Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains is simply stunning. Warm days and cool nights during the summer mean a break from hot cities. Spring and autumn offer the most variety in temperatures, with early spring lows frequently dipping to the 30's and highs in the 60's. Late spring brings much warmer temps with highs in the 70's and low 80's. The By the start of autumn our highs peak in the 70's, but even late in the season reach the 60's. During the winter our highs are in the 50's, dropping below the freezing mark at night. Snow blankets our mountains 3 or 4 times a year.
