  • THINGS to DO In/And AROUND BLUE RIDGE, GA
    THINGS TO DO in/and AROUND BLUE RIDGE, GA Watch a sunset at Brasstown Bald – Brasstown Bald is the highest elevation in Georgia – 4,784 ft. Every sunset is different, even on back-to-back days. Some days you are in the clouds and can’t see anything. Discover Waterfalls – Amicalola Falls, Helton Creek Falls, Desoto Falls, Fall Branch Falls, Sea Creek Falls, Jacks River Falls are the most popular waterfalls in the area. The funny thing about waterfalls is that they don’t put them by the side of the road most of the time. You can expect to hike anywhere from 0.1 miles to 9.2 miles to view the waterfalls. The water falls we visit most often is Helton Creek Falls, near Brasstown Bald. We make an adventure of Brasstown Bald, Helton Creek Falls and a picnic at Vogel State Park, all close to each other. The Toccoa Swinging Bridge -part of the adventure is getting there, but it is not the easiest thing to find and you will have to travel 3 miles down gravel roads to get to the parking lot. The Benton MacKaye and Appalachian Trail merge to cross over the Toccoa River and this 265’ long suspension bridge. The bridge was built in 1977. From the parking lot; you will hike down a well worn trail about ½ mile to the river and the bridge. The area around the bridge is a popular camping and picnic area, and some people brave the water and swim here in the summer. This is not a strenuous hike, and is short enough that young children will enjoy the hike.
