Did you know that Union County is home of Georgia's Highest Mountain??? Brasstown Bald is 4,784 feet above sea level with panoramic views of four states! It houses a museum and exhibit, picnic areas, a bookstore and walking trails. The views are absolutely stunning! http://fs.fed.us/conf/rec/brb_overview.htm
Vogel State, Georgia's oiginal state park, was built in 1927 and is located just 11 miles south of downtown Blairsville at the base of Blood Mountain in the middle of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Camping Life Magazine listed the park as one of the top 25 public US campgrounds in 2000. The park is built around Lake Trahlyta and offers swimming, paddle boats, fishing, cottages, hiking, camping and pavilions. http://www.gastateparks.org/info/vogel
The Appalachian Trail gives hikers an opportunity to view the Chattahoochee National Forest up close, with elevations up to 4,000 fett. The trail is easily accessible at several locations throughout Union County. Side trails take you to lesser known paths such as Duncan Ridge and the Benton McKaye Trail (where a suspension bridge provides breathtaking views). http://www.appalachiantrail.org
Beauty, relaxation, and natural fun can all be found in the mountains of North Georgia (Blairsville and Blue Ridge, GA). The large variety of outdoor activities lead many visitors to become residents (or at least part-timers) before they have had a chance to explore all of the lakes, rivers and streams in the area.
Many water lovers in the area head for Lake Blue Ridge and Lake Nottely, two of Georgia's most picturesque mountain lakes. Both are man made and controlled by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Lake Nottely is 4,180 acres and Blue Ridge is 3,290 acres. Swimming, boating and fishing on the crystal blue waters are very appealing. Both lakes have an abundance of National Forest land, camping & picnic opportunities, boat ramps and full service marinas. Because so much of the shoreline borders on National Forest, the lakes remain unspoiled by commercial development. Fisherman can enjoy fishing for bass, bream, catfish, crappie and perch. Lake Blue Ridge is the only lake south of the Great Lakes where walleye are caught. Blue Ridge is also known for small mouth bass fishing and Nottely has some of the finest striped bass around.
Those looking for flowing water, don't have to look far. Several area rivers, including the Toccoa offer canoeing and kayaking opportunities. Fast paced whitewater rapids, for the more adventurous are just right down the road on the Ocoee River. The Ocoee was the site of the Olympic white water rafting during the 1996 summer games. Many of the area rivers also offer a trout fisherman's dream. Winding in and out of National Forest land, the rivers are wide enough in most areas that you can cast a line without catching a tree. The streams and rivers are regularly stocked with beautiful rainbow trout.
