Location: 241 Depot St., Blue Ridge
Blue Ridge Scenic Railway—all aboard for fun and
adventure! Blue Ridge Mountains await you, nestled in the mountains of Georgia’s
Chattahoochee National Forest. This fun-filled train ride is a 26-mile round trip
through historic Murphy Junction along the Toccoa River, known for its stunning
scenery.
The railroad was built more than 100 years ago,
and is the only one of its kind in the state. Each trip begins at the depot in Blue
Ridge and stops in McCaysville, where passengers can explore the town and the neighboring
one of Copperhill, Tennessee.
Make this a group excursion, with the whole family
onboard for a great day. A 3 ½ hour trip, this is the perfect way to spend a beautiful
day or a weekend. You can camp and hike, mountain bike, fish and canoe. Museums
and parks add to the area’s appeal, but of course the real attraction is the scenery.
Is there anything better than fresh mountain air
and clear blue skies marked by mountains and trees? Breathe deep, take a walk through
quaint towns, explore the shops, and
have a nice family lunch before the return
trip. This will be a day for the memory books, so be sure to bring the camera and
capture those heartwarming smiles.
