A recent guest asked me, “What does your family like to do in Blue Ridge“? This got me thinking, because we do have our favorite things and places we go to over and over, and ‘drag’ our friends and family out to explore these areas with us. I came up with the following -Top 11 things to do in Blue Ridge. This would be a good place for you to start in planning your mountain adventures. Deciding what you are going to do is almost as important as choosing one of our Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals!
Vacationing With Your Friends and Family
If you are looking for a wonderful place to vacation with your family, you can’t find a better place than the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. Unlike many places that you go to vacation with your family, here you can see and experience the unspoiled natural beauty of the mountains. Here we have clear mountain streams and rivers, waterfalls, pristine lakes, world renowned hiking trails, national forests and wilderness areas waiting for you to discover.
Natural beauty
All of this natural beauty offers you limitless opportunities for adventure on your family vacation. Hiking, fly fishing, canoeing and kayaking, whitewater rafting, riding a zip line, tubing, watch a sunset from a breath-taking mountain top and much more are all reasons why this is one of GA’s favorite vacation spots!
Whitewater Rafting – Your whitewater adventure begins here
One of our favorite activities is whitewater rafting. The Ocoee River is just across the state line (less than 10 miles from Blue Ridge) and is definitely a must do while you are staying here. The Ocoee River offers world-class rapids for you experience.
But don’t fear, highly trained and experienced whitewater rafting guides will make sure you have a great adventure, safely. Get wet and wild whitewater rafting! Ask us which of our Blue Ridge cabin rentals are closest to the whitewater rafting area, so it will only be a short drive for you to go whitewater rafting.
Fly Fishing
Blue Ridge is the trout fishing capitol of Georgia. The cold, clear mountain streams and rivers invite you to try your hand at fly fishing and catch plenty of rainbow trout and other native trout species.
Learn fly fishing
I always wanted to learn to fly fish before we moved here, and we were taught by one of the fly fishing guides here in Blue Ridge. Everyone except our youngest children has taken fly fishing lessons here.
For the more skilled fly fishermen (and women), you can hire a guide to take you on a fly fishing adventure to many public and private streams and rivers in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have many riverfront cabins available for you to choose Riverfront Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals for your stay. Follow this link to discover more information about The Rivers.
Ride A Zip Line
One of the newest adventures up here in the North Georgia Mountains is zip-lining or canopy tours. I never thought that I would be one of the ones to experience this, I am afraid of heights. This summer, Ocoee River Basin Canopy Tours, invited me and my oldest son to experience their adventure. We went, Had A Blast, and I recommend this to everyone!
Hiking
Take a hike!
There are plenty of hiking trails up here waiting for you: The Appalachian Trail, Benton MacKaye Trail, Aska Trails, and many more. If you want a rugged day hike, or a kinder, gentle family-friendly hike to find a waterfall, we have the hike that you are looking for. Click here for more of our posts about things to do in The Mountains.
If the need is a private place, a romantic place, a family reunion or just a getaway we’ve got it. Our Blue Ridge cabin rentals feature 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms and 2-3 baths, hot tubs, game rooms, fully equipped kitchens. When you reserve Blue Ridge cabin rentals with us all you need to bring is you and your personal items.
The pristine water and the blue ridge mountains are just some of the things to admire here. We have features for the outdoors that draw you away and our cabins as well have so much to offer from views, hot tubs, game rooms and peace and quiet that you so deserve.
