Zip Line in Blue Ridge

Zip Line Canopy Tours of Blue Ridge

706-455-0342

Well just when you think we have every outdoor activity you could think of like fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, boating, hunting and scenic train riding we get one more to add to the list.  This is a fantastic coarse located in Blue Ridge Georgia.  I have seen other zip line courses but this one takes the blue ribbon.  They have a 75 foot tower that propels you over 300 yards where you can get a birds eye view of a pasture, a noisy creek and travel under a canopy of mature hemlocks.  What a ride and there are 10 of them? They also have floating walkways up in the trees that extend from one landing to another. This is definitely a must do activity for the whole family.  I think you need to be about 80 lbs but that may change. The guides are very professional giving you all the training you need to have a great day in the trees.  My photo below is not the best as I did not take my camera on the first trip.


See what Blue Ridge has for you.

Update for Blue Ridge Facelift.

This is a follow up on the progress for the Facelift for Blue Ridge Georgia.  Well it's completed, Phase II of the Street Scape for Historic Downtown Blue Ridge is FINISHED.  Benches are set, trees are planted, flowers are in place and the parking is available. We are almost 50% complete for all of downtown facelift.  I believe the East Main St will be the hardest task to undergo.  This will effect many businesses mostly due to the amount of reconstruction of the street that will be required. It has been a long time coming and hopefully within the next 2 years we can say it's over.  We have a great town with fantastic shops, restaurants and small businesses that can benefit many people. Come support our local economy and have a great time doing it. 
See what Blue Ridge has for you.

Places to see in Fannin County Georgia.

I have lived in Fannin County for almost 22 years and still have many places that I have not seen.  One of those places was the Swinging Bridge" located in the southern portion of Fannin County off Highway 60 south.  If you are not looking for it you'll miss it.  I did many times.  There is a place you can park and walk in or if you have a high clearance vehicle you might want to drive in most of the 3 miles of gravel/dirt road to another place to park and then finish the short walk to the river. Very peaceful place during the week with weekends picking up due to the great weather.  Take a look! This bridge spans the upper Toccoa River where fly fishing is fantastic. I hope to have additional places for those looking for a getaway close to Blue Ridge. Visit www.bestofblueridgehomes.com .
