We love Hiawassee, Georgia!!
Two of the prettiest little towns in the North Georgia mountains sit just a short drive apart, and both will make you want to pack up and move to the hills. β°οΈ Blairsville, the seat of Union County, and Hiawassee, the seat of Towns County, each have their own loyal crowd that will tell you theirs is the best.
Blairsville gives you that classic mountain courthouse square, the gateway to Brasstown Bald, and some of the best fall color you will find anywhere in the state. π Hiawassee sits right on the shore of beautiful Lake Chatuge with the mountains rising up behind it, home of the Georgia Mountain Fair and sunsets that stop you in your tracks.
Both towns slow way down this time of year and let the Blue Ridge show off. You truly cannot go wrong with either one. But you know us, we always have to ask. π
So settle it for us. Blairsville or Hiawassee, which North Georgia mountain town wins your heart?
