Every year, thousands of families vacation to the beautiful North Georgia Mountains. The beautiful scenery, combined with friendly locals and delicious restaurants, the towns of Blue Ridge and Ellijay are a vacation destination for many couples with children. Aside from all of the river tubing, hiking trails and other outdoor activities, what else is there for kids to do in the North Georgia Mountains? Well, we’re glad you asked!

No, you won’t find many tourist traps, t-shirt shops and arcade supercenters here – that’s what makes the North Georgia Mountains so special! Despite the lack of gift shops and souvenir stores, there are dozens of reasons kids will love the North Georgia Mountains. Check out a few of the kid friendly activities below and book your North Georgia cabin rental today!
