All about Ellijay

Located at the junction of the Ellijay and Cartecay rivers around 1.5 hours north of Atlanta, the small town of Ellijay is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although considered a quiet mountain spot, Ellijay has a lively downtown area, with antique stores and outfitters where visitors come to gear up for adventures on the Appalachian Trail. It’s not uncommon to hear live music drifting out of one of the restaurants or bars.

While Ellijay’s historic downtown has much to offer, the town’s surroundings make it a popular place to visit. Georgia may be known for its juicy peaches, but Ellijay is celebrated for delicious apples, earning it the nickname Apple Capital of Georgia. In spring, the orchards are covered in apple blossoms, while fall offers many U-Pick opportunities, where you can wander through the rows of trees to choose the sweetest fruit. The calm flowing waters of the Ellijay and Cartecay rivers are popular for tubing and relaxing dips, while the Blue Ridge Mountains are a renowned hiking and biking destination, with miles of trails leading through the mature wooded areas up steep inclines to spectacular viewpoints.
