If you are due for a treat, consider the Appalachian Trail or other outdoor activities such as tubing, biking, fishing, mountain climbing, hiking, rafting, or horseback riding. Spoil yourself in the splendors of a North Georgia vacation.
Many people have heard of the storied history of the Appalachian Trail, which is one of the most famous features of North Georgia. The Appalachian Trail soars more than 4,000 feet above sea level and offers more than 75 miles in the nearby Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest for hiking, picnicking, and sightseeing. Routes on the Appalachian Trail are well marked and offer everything from day hikes to through hikes; depending upon varying levels of expertise as well as preferences.
Of course, there are many other outdoor activities for your North Georgia vacation. Visit Amicalola Falls State Park, Unicoi State Park, or Tallulah Gorge State Park, to witness some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the state of Georgia. For some of the best fishing in Georgia, whether for bass or trout, discover some of the fishing hot spots on the Chattahoochee River, Dukes Creek, or Smith Lake.
Families who aren’t quite ready for breathtaking adventures like hiking or fishing can find plenty of fun in the Helen, Georgia area as well. Go horseback riding in the forests of North Georgia or try an overnight horseback camping trip with Fort Mountain Stables. If you enjoy a sense of history and want to feel like a real gold prospector, try panning for gold at the Crisson Gold Mines.
When you’ve had plenty of fun in the great outdoors, head back into Helen, GA, and enjoy some of the unique cuisine, stores, and galleries in the area. You will feel as if you suddenly stumbled into a classic Bavarian town when you visit the town, thanks to the influence of a local architect who spent time in Germany when the town was redesigned in the 1960s.
At the end of the day, when you are happy, tired, and full, come back to Cedar Creek Cabins and spoil yourself even more with a luxury cabin, complete with scenic views, Jacuzzi tubs, a full kitchen, and beautiful, relaxing bedrooms. You will be relaxed and ready to go the next day as you continue to enjoy your North Georgia vacation.
