Information: Blue Ridge is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Georgia. With key water features, such as Lake Blue Ridge and the Toccoa River, as well as being surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, near the southern tip of the Appalachian Trail, the area draws tourists and outdoorsmen from all over the United States and abroad.
Outdoor activities include fishing, kayaking, boating, tubing, swimming, hiking, camping and blueberry picking, to name a few. The downtown area of the city is populated with many quaint shops and antique stores. It also serves as host for several seasonal festivals.
Due to the diversity of activities and the breathtaking beauty of the region, many cabin rental companies have emerged to provide various levels of lodging and accommodations for visitors. Blue Ridge cabin rentals are relatively affordable and many offer lake or river access, breath-taking mountain views, and high-quality amenities that cater to those who want an upscale mountain experience, in the heart of the rugged mountain range.
