Chasing waterfalls, fishing, rafting down the whitewaters, tubing, swimming, or boating? It's all here in the Blue Ridge area.
With waterfalls like Long Creek Falls, Fall Branch Falls, Sea Creek Falls, Jacks River Falls, and Amicalola Falls there's just too little time!
Would you rather go boating? Well there's plenty of that too. From canoeing down the Toccoa River canoe trail, a 17 mile stretch which is great for beginners, or stepping it up a notch to Class III and IV White Water Rapids on the Ocoee River there's something for all skill levels.
Let's don't forget about those lakes either! There's plenty of boating to be done on the Lake Blue Ridge, a 3290-acre lake, providing great ramps for access and Marinas as well. With plenty of fishing appeal Lake Blue Ridge can even boast the only Small-mouth Bass lake in Georgia.
For more detailed information on the many possibilities above,as well as possible guides, swing by the Fannin Welcome Center or just log onto their website at www.blueridgemountains.com.
