Who doesn’t love a scavenger hunt?? The next time you head to the quaint downtown square of Ellijay in the North Georgia mountains, take a walk with the kids and hunt for these “things” all within walking distance of the square! This is also a fun activity for dad and the kids while mom shops in some of the cool antique stores and boutiques right there on the square!
These beautiful 4000 acres historically have been home to the Cherokee Indians In Georgia. Today it offers over 25 miles of various hiking and 27 miles of biking trails to choose from, along with picnic shelter, fishing spots, swimming, horseback riding... not to mention the expansive views over North Georgia mountains. There is a $5/vehicle fee to enter the park (it was based on the honor system with envelops available at the entrance or in the parking areas).
East Ellijay has a lot of your basics from Chick-Fil-A to iHop to Moe’s which is fine if your in a rush and don’t want to think too much (it’s ok...you’re on vacation). But there are better options on the square of downtown Ellijay, ie the Ellijay Wood Fired Pizza (shown above). But seriously, don’t make this a late night run...they’re bound to be closed or out of dough!
