Welcome to the beautiful North Georgia and Western North Carolina Mountains.

Hiawassee, GA and Hayesville, NC are a little
slice of Heaven. 
 
"2 hours from everywhere" is our motto.  We are close enough for a weekend adventure from a few cities, or plan a vacation to truly enjoy this beautiful part of the country.

The North Georgia and Western North Carolina Mountains are a perfect place to visit. You can find both adventure and relaxation in these beautiful mountains. You can take your pick of shopping, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, camping, antique shopping, relaxing on the lake, boating, water skiing, golfing, and the list goes on. With so much to do in such a beautiful place, how could you not visit the North Georgia and Western North Carolina Mountains. 

The leaves are getting a late start on changing for Autumn 2005. But when they do, take the Russell-Brasstown National Scenic Byway to see the best views from a higher elevation.
 
 The USDA Forest Service National Scenic Byway Program draws attention to outstanding scenery on national forests and provides opportunities for people to see well managed and changing forest landscapes. The lands through which the byways pass have valuable aesthetic, cultural, and historical value. Those of you who venture out onto our scenic byways will have memorable experiences as you gain access to wildlife and their habitat, history, scenic vistas, geology, and streams, lakes, and waterfalls.

The Russell-Brasstown National Scenic Byway  has all these features and presents to its travelers the special character and quality of the area through which it passes. We hope you find your experience fun, enlightening, and entertaining as you experience the Chattahoochee National Forest. It is a short side-trip that runs through some spectacular fall color in the mountains.
