Overview

Itinerary

1. Atlanta

   After Picking the guests we will head towards one of the coolest spots in the North Georgia mountains - Amicalola Falls State Park. About halfway between Ellijay and Dahlonega off of GA Hwy 52, it's an easy trip from either I-575 N on the west side of metro Atlanta area or GA 400 on the east.
   Located in Dawsonville, Amicalola Falls State Park is about 70 miles from Atlanta and only about a 1 hour and 20 minute drive. The state park is located near popular North Georgia towns like Dahlonega, Helen, and Ellijay.

2. Amicalola Falls State Park

   A nature lover’s wonderland, it’s only 8 miles from the Appalachian Trail and within the Chattahoochee National Forest. The park is named after its most treasured feature, Amicalola Falls – a magnificent 729-foot waterfall that’s the third-highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River.

3. Blue Ridge

   With 106,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest, 300 miles of hiking trails, the start of the Appalachian Trail and 100 miles of trout streams, Blue Ridge is the perfect place for a romantic getaway and a family vacation.
   Blue Ridge was once considered an elite health resort because of its pure mineral waters. It was established as a railroad town, with the depot at its heart.

4. Mercier Orchards

   Visit Mercier Orchards, largest orchard in the south, located on Highway 5 just outside Blue Ridge. Pick apples off the tree, buy fresh apple cider and the best fried apple pies – a true farm to table experience. Treat the family to a farm tractor tour and u-pick strawberries, blueberries and apples in season. The new tasting room features homemade hard cider from the freshest Mercier grown fruit.

5. 405 Vogel State Park Rd

   One of Georgia’s prettiest state parks, including scenic Lake Trahlyta, which has a swimming beach with paddle boats. A short hiking trail along the lake leads you to an observation deck to view the falls. Directly below Lake Trahlyta is a stepping-stone waterfall
