With lots of outdoor fun, delightful attractions, festivals throughout the year, and four distinct seasons, this is a town that lives up to its promise: “Each Season Something New.” Located amidst North Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, visitors find hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, eight waterfalls including the twin cascades at Helton Creek Falls, and warm weather water sports on pristine Lake Nottely and Lake Winfield Scott, not to mention the 20-acre lake and swimming beach at one of Georgia’s most beloved summer getaways, Vogel State Park.

Blairsville has plenty of attractions on land too: the Misty Mountain Model Railroad, America’s largest privately owned 0-gauge train display; the Historic Courthouse Museum with its 1899 Romanesque Revival-style courthouse, internationally renowned Margarita Morgan Miniature Collection and Native American artifacts; and the historical Walasi-Yi Center atop Blood Mountain, the only place where the 2,175-mile-long Appalachian Trail passes through a man-made structure.

Blairsville has lots of artisan galleries, quirky antique and general stores, a mill where you can buy stone-ground grits, two alpaca farms where you can shop for one-of-a-kind jewelry, spas, a land of fairy enchantment at Sleepy Hollow and charmer of a restaurant scene that includes coffee bars and scratch-cooking cafés.

This family-friendly burg hosts nearly two dozen festivals and events each year, including favorites Blairsville Scottish Festival in June and the Sorghum Festival in October. There are deluxe cabin accommodations tucked all over the county with stunning views of woods and water. Blairsville-Union County is a perfect choice for any season!
