Things To Do
Crane Creek Vineyards
Crane Creek Vineyards sits high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia... Just three miles north of the quaint college town of Young Harris in the shadow of Brasstown Bald, the state’s highest peak. Less than two hours from Atlanta – yet a world away. On our family owned & operated vineyard, we offer two distinct tasting room locations, each with their own hours and offerings: the Stone House Tasting Room, and the Farmhouse Market.
Brasstown Bald
Brasstown Bald is the highest point in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is located in the northeastern part of the state in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the border between Towns and Union counties south of the city of Hiawassee. The mountain is known to the native Cherokee people as Enotah.

Helton Creek Falls
Helton Creek Falls Trail (.3 mile) follows Helton Creek to two waterfalls. The trail accesses the lower falls at both the bottom and top of the falls and ends at the bottom of the upper falls. The total vertical drop is more than 100 feet. The rocks are deceptively slippery around these falls. Exercise caution. Go south on U.S. Hwy. 129 from Blairsville for 11 miles. Turn left on first road past Vogel State Park. Go 2.2 miles. Trailhead is on right.
Vogel State Park
One of Georgia's oldest and most beloved state parks, Vogel is located at the base of Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Driving from the south, visitors pass through Neel Gap, a beautiful mountain pass near Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. Vogel is particularly popular during the fall when the Blue Ridge Mountains transform into a rolling blanket of red, yellow and gold leaves. Hikers can choose from a variety of trails, including the popular 4-mile Bear Hair Gap loop, an easy lake loop that leads to Trahlyta Falls, and the challenging 13-mile Coosa Backcountry Trail.
