Outdoor Adventures in Blue Ridge

Blue Ridge is a nature lover's paradise, so it only makes sense that you'd enjoy some of the area's natural wonders.

Go Boating

Lake Blue Ridge is a 3,300-acre lake with about 100 miles of shoreline. The lake is a gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and spending the day basking in the warm sunshine will set the stage for a relaxing weekend. You can rent a pontoon boat at Lake Blue Ridge Marina.

Go Hiking

Your heart is sure to skip a beat with a hike over the 250-foot Toccoa River Swinging suspension bridge, the longest swinging bridge this side of the Mississippi River. If you'd rather go underneath the bridge, contact Jon Ron Toccoa River Outfitters. They lead guided floats or let you rent the equipment.
