Blue Ridge GA Hiking Two of the greatest outdoor hiking adventures in the world begin at the southern border of Fannin County. Both the Appalachian and the Benton MacKaye Trail start at the top of Springer Mountain. The Appalachian Trail, better known and longer of the trails, begins a 2,000+ mile journey to Maine through many of the states on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. The Benton MacKaye, more remote than the Appalachian Trail, begins a 286 mile trek along the western slopes of the Appalachian Mountains, rejoining the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.

There are tons and tons of wonderful outdoor activites in fabulous Blue Ridge, GA (an easy, short drive from Atlanta) and the Toccoa River Canoe Trail is a great place to start.
The Toccoa River Canoe Trail is terrific for beginners who are looking for a few rapids and some absolutely beautiful scenery. The trail is also popular with float fishermen looking for cold-water mountain trout. Some consider the Toccoa RIver to have the best trout fishing in Georgia. The canoe launch (or bring a tube) is located at the Blue Ridge Ranger District's Deep Hole Recreation (0 comments)
