Blue Ridge Scenic Railway

Named after the attractive tourist town in which it's based, the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway is one of the most-visited attractions in North Georgia. The village of Blue Ridge is one of the most quaint and charming in all of the state and is the gateway to the Chattahoochee National Forest. Operating from spring through late fall, this popular heritage railway takes passengers on a 26-mile stretch from Blue Ridge along the Toccoa River into the surrounding Appalachian Mountains. The short 2-mile long scenic railway trip takes around 4 hours and meanders through the countryside landscapes through forest and fields following the flow of the Toccoa River.

For a leisurely and picturesque day out in Georgia, it seldom gets better than the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. It's a fun four-hour excursion that includes a return trip, plus two hours to explore the towns of McCaysville and Copperhill. Many people choose to hop off the train at the halfway point of Copperhill and explore the cafes and gift shops, antique stalls, and more. Special seasonal excursions are offered in the fall, during Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Be sure to allocate time to explore downtown Blue Ridge, too. Fun things to do here include shopping and dining, as well as visiting notable attractions such as the Blue Ridge Arts Center and Fannin County Heritage Foundation.
