Things to do in Blue Ridge
Blue Ridge is a small mountain town in Fannin County, near the point where Georgia meets Tennessee and North Carolina. Once a railroad and copper-mining stop, it has become the north Georgia mountains’ busiest getaway, with a walkable downtown of restaurants, galleries and outfitters, and thousands of rental cabins and second homes tucked into the surrounding ridges. Tourism, real estate and construction are the main businesses, and many Atlanta families keep a place here for weekends.
