Watch out for the corn hole buddy

I have family in the area so I've been there several times. Frankly, it's overrated and traffic sucks. Just a bunch of fake German restaurants, shops, etc.

Go to Highlands, NC. Much better than Helen. No McDonald's or Burger King. Great drink and food. I went there the first time 15 years ago and go back at least once a year.

Helen is great for children and women. For men that get dragged up there, trout fishing is all over the place. But it’s not trout season right now, you’d be largely restricted from fishing most places in the area.

Blue Ridge, GA ftw

I got dragged up there for a bachelor party. It's not the worst place in the world (plenty of bars, natural scenery is nice, and SEC sororities seem to like doing the whole tubing thing up there during the Summer which makes for nice people watching/cavorting) but I also can't drive through there without the bavarian architecture making me feel like I'm hungover.

There are mountains in Georgia? I've always called them foothills.

What's a fake German restaurant?

A wing and beer bar made to look like a goblin nestled next to the creek/river bend selling the worst premade reheated "schnitzel" this side of Pennsylvania.

Make groceries while your there too, it's the coolest grocery store ever!
