Fort Mountain State Park
These beautiful 4000 acres historically have been home to the Cherokee Indians In Georgia. Today it offers over 25 miles of various hiking and 27 miles of biking trails to choose from, along with picnic shelter, fishing spots, swimming, horseback riding... not to mention the expansive views over North Georgia mountains. There is a $5/vehicle fee to enter the park (it was based on the honor system with envelops available at the entrance or in the parking areas).

Scavenger Hunt - Ellijay, GA
Who doesn’t love a scavenger hunt?? The next time you head to the quaint downtown square of Ellijay in the North Georgia mountains, take a walk with the kids and hunt for these “things” all within walking distance of the square! This is also a fun activity for dad and the kids while mom shops in some of the cool antique stores and boutiques right there on the square!

Amicalola Falls
Welcome to the 3rd highest falls east of the Mississippi cascading at 729 feet! Get your legwork in with some great photo opportunities on this 650 step jaunt up to the top. If you’re not up for this strenuous leg workout, you can park at the top for a short stroll from the parking lot to the overlook.

Wineries around Ellijay in North Georgia
North Georgia provides a beautiful backdrop to sit back and enjoy some local music with a charcuterie board and a glass of your favorite vino at hand. A couple of these wineries are just a few minutes apart so hitting them up for a tasting in the same afternoon is completely doable before dinner. I have listed some of the favorites within 20 minutes of the cabin, but new ones seem to be popping up every season so let us know if you find another favorite!
