Fall Foliage
The Appalachian deciduous forests put on a grand show each and every year for residents and tourists. Leaves begin to change color first at higher elevations and the rainbow of autumn sweeps down the mountains and into the valleys. The Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest is one of the best vantage points in the state to see the changing colors.
The National Forest Service recommends heading to Brasstown Bald and Rabun Bald in the forest for the best views of the changing color. The website also includes great driving and walking routes to take in as much fall beauty as possible. Most of the suggested routes are near Helen and connect the small mountain towns including Helen, Dahlonega, and Blue Ridge. Pack a picnic, with your camera, and head out into the forest.
Rushing Waters
The fall foliage provides the perfect backdrop for the rushing waters of the northern Appalachian foothills. And Cedar Creek Cabin Rentals provides a front-row seat to the many waterways of this area. Many cabins feature waterfront views and properties along waterways. Other cabins feature views of tumbling waterfalls with sounds to lull you to sleep each night. For a more interactive water experience, head into the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and take advantage of the many activities here including riverside movie nights and educational waterway hikes.
Autumn Harvest
Nothing quite says fall like the autumn harvest of pumpkins, corn, and squash. Enjoy the harvest from one of the many pumpkin patches in the area. Many of these farms feature corn mazes, hay rides, fall activities, and a wide variety of fall produce and yummy treats like hot apple cider or warm spice cake. Visit Burt’s Farm, a favorite among locals. Be sure to pick up a fresh pumpkin pie or pumpkin roll to enjoy back at your luxury cabin.
