The Top 6 Things to Do in Ellijay GA
Ziplining – Ziplining is a year-round activity here in North Georgia thanks to our subtropical climate. Zipline Canopy Tours of Blue Ridge is the preferred local option because of their 165 acres of natural beauty. Their two-hour, 13-line tour covers over 1,600 feet, reaching 75 feet above the Earth. You can combine the canopy tour with whitewater rafting or their aerial bridge, ropes, and climbing wall course.
Hiking / Waterfall Hunting – The North Georgia mountains are a seemingly neverending playground for hikers, backpackers, and outdoor enthusiasts. We’ve combined hiking and water-falling into one of the best things to do in Ellijay GA because they often go hand-in-hand in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Click the links above to discover our favorite area hikes and waterfalls, which includes the breathtaking Amicalola Falls and expansive Fort Mountain State Park.
River Adventures – Rolling Thunder River Company provides tubing, kayaking, and canoeing up the lazy Toccoa River just south of the Tennessee border. You can also challenge yourself on Tennessee’s rushing Ocoee River with a half or full-day rafting expedition through the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Horseback Riding – The charismatic, experienced guides at Appalachian Trail Rides lead daily horseback tours through 250 acres of diverse Blue Ridge wilderness. You’ll start your journey at S&T Stables, located near Mineral Bluff. Each trip grazes through serene pastures, well-groomed trails, secluded lakes, and babbling creeks. These majestic, well-trained horses will win your heart immediately!
Vineyards – All of our North Georgia cabin rentals are within minutes of an award-winning vineyard. Embark on a 45-minute vineyard tour with Owner Gary Engel at Engelheim Vineyards before sampling their 100 percent estate-grown Pinot Grigio inside their chateau. Chateau Meichtry has an early-1900s chateau of their own and one of the best patios in the region. They also provide walking vineyard tours, which includes a glass of medium-bodied Merlot – the mountain views are worth the trip alone!
Shopping / Restaurants – Spend an afternoon shopping in Ellijay, Blue Ridge, and Dahlonega, three quintessential small towns. You’ll discover unique local apparel, jewelry, souvenirs, swimwear, and sweet treats in all three cities. After a couple hours of eclectic shopping, stop for an early dinner at Cantaberry Restaurant, Jolly Roger Seafood Market & Grill, The Black Sheep, or Mike’s Trackside BBQ.
