PLENTY TO DO. OR NOT TO DO

The beauty of a North Georgia mountain home is that there is plenty to do within the gates of Big Canoe and even more just outside them. Annual festivals include the Wildflower Festival of the Arts, Georgia Wine County Festival, Ellijay’s Georgia Apple Festival, Jasper’s Georgia Marble Festival, and the John C. Campbell Folk Art School Fall Festival. The charm of North Georgia is one more reason to come home to Big Canoe.
