Blue Ridge

The landscape around Blue Ridge is defined by the forested folds of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which have shaped both the town’s compact form and its recreation-based economy. Lake Blue Ridge, formed by the damming of the Toccoa River, brings a broad stretch of water to the surrounding mountain country. Downtown centres on its restored 1906 depot, where the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway runs excursion trains toward the twin border towns of McCaysville, Georgia, and Copperhill, Tennessee. Independent shops, galleries and restaurants now occupy many of the old commercial buildings, while the nearby Chattahoochee National Forest keeps trails and woodland close at hand.
