Budget-Friendly between the rocks. Or, cruise through the mountains on a scenic drive toward the Chattahoochee National Forest for a visit to the crashing waters of Dick’s Creek Falls . Hike to the trail’s end to appreciate the beautiful cascade with a small shoal that’s ideal for wading. Pose for a group selfie to celebrate a successful ascent. Rather go straight to the view? Skip the hike and caravan up to the falls’ parking lot. Watersport enthusiasts will delight in the winding waterways of the massive Lake Rabun . At the southern end lies Lake Rabun Beach Recreation Area , complete with boat ramp. For a small fee, your group can launch your motorized and non-motorized boats. You can also sunbathe on the sandy beach, splash in the lake, or cast a line from the fishing dock. Visit Bear Gap Outfitters to rent stand-up paddleboards, Jet Skis, and pontoons. Head over to Tallulah Adventures , a lodge-style social and recreational hub complete with an outdoor rock wall, a restaurant and bar, and a spacious lawn. Breathe in the fresh mountain air as everyone downward dogs in a yoga session, compete against your travel buddies in corn hole, or dance to groovin’ music performances. Or, pause at Blue Ridge Honey Company to sample locally produced honey, see live bees buzzing, and explore dozens of fantastic souvenirs like honey shampoo, beeswax candles, and themed home decor. Experience movie night the old-fashioned way at Tiger Drive-In theater. Claim your spot in the grassy field and lay out on a thick blanket piled high with squishable pillows. Set up a late-night picnic spread complete with fresh, buttery popcorn to nibble on as your movie flickers onto the oversized screen. When it’s time to refuel, chow down on tender sauced wings, veggie-topped pizzas, and juicy wagyu burgers from Fortify Pi . Afterward, chill out at Currahee Brewing Company ’s taproom – lounge in side-by-side Adirondack rocking chairs as you chat and sip hazy IPAs, brown ales, and rye porters. EXPLOREGEORGIA.ORG 61
