Hiawassee, Georgia

Less than one hundred miles from Atlanta is one of the prettiest little mountain towns you will ever find. Hiawassee’s setting is gorgeous: a small mountain valley surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Chatuge. The scenery is impossible to improve upon. You can while away many days sitting on a porch and admiring the endless beauty of the surrounding mountains.
Besides the beautiful landscape in and around Hiawassee, one of the most popular attractions is the Georgia Mountain Fair. Thousands of spectators flock to the fairgrounds each year for the fair. The fairgrounds have a campground which is directly on Lake Chatuge and the fair and other shows, such as the fiddlers, get together and Blue Grass festivals draw fans from all over the United States. The fairgrounds have a state of the art building with wonderful acoustics for the performers and comfortable seating for the visitors, so you may enjoy the shows in ease no matter what the weather is like outside. The fair has displays, artifacts and demonstrations that depict the lifestyle of the folks who resided in these rugged mountain areas in years past. You will enjoy visiting the fair and getting a glimpse of how difficult the everyday lives of our ancestors were. You will be able to sample some mountain delicacies such as home made biscuits, wild honey, fruit preserves, jellies, and boiled peanuts. You are still in Georgia, so enjoy.
Hiawassee offers the typical Blue Ridge Mountain scenery of soaring peaks, mist covered waterfalls, beautiful mountain streams, and wildlife which seems to appear to entertain you at just the time you need it most.
One of the things which the state of Georgia should be most proud of is their state park system which is great and this area is no exception.

In this area there are numerous parks some with lake access and others with mountain vistas, so whatever you enjoy, Georgia has provided it for you.
You are only a leisurely mountain drive from other pretty little mountain towns and villages such as Dahlonega, with its rich history of gold mining, Helen the alpine village of Georgia, Blairsville, or Franklin, North Carolina.
For your dining pleasure you will find many restaurants here in the mountains that serve nothing but the best food you have ever tasted and there is a wide variety of choices.
Lodging is very plentiful and you can choose from nice Bed and Breakfasts or many hotels, motels and resorts.
