OUTDOORSY FRIENDS’ TRIP TO CLAYTON Surrounded by lush, forested valleys, misty peaks, and cascading waterfalls near the Blue Ridge Mountain Range, Clayton is an incredible setting for exploring with friends in nature. Stay in town and be close to the local shops by reserving a row of rooms at the charming White Birch Inn . Your entire posse will fall in love with nature-themed touches, like stone fireplaces, wood-paneled walls, and tree-branch bed frames. Breakfast features fluffy quiches, fruit-filled scones, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. For something more secluded, book a group stay at the Beechwood Inn . Located in a quiet, residential area surrounded by mature trees, this spot is perfect for luxuriating outside. Snooze on a hammock beneath a leafy canopy, cozy up to the firepit and listen to birdsong, or lounge on the back porch to admire majestic peaks. Begin your outdoor adventures at Black Rock Mountain State Park , where everyone can romp along 11 miles of trail dotted with scenic overlooks and babbling creeks, or hike to the lofty summit. See the resident ducks as you paddle and fish together at the serene, aquamarine lake, or hunt for geocaches. Hidden away between mountain crags and veils of verdant trees are Clayton’s beautiful tumbling waters. Trek your team up to Martin Creek Falls , a two-tier waterfall with a weeping rock wall where fuzzy mosses and aquatic plants cling 60 #EXPLOREGEORGIA THIS PAGE: MARTIN CREEK FALLS, RABUN COUNTY/JAKE TEKIPPE.
