“Blue mountains, sparkling rivers, lush green forests, adventure, history and enchantment await you in the Northeast Georgia Mountains.”
How’s that for an opening line on a travel website?

Visiting the Northeast Georgia Mountains makes all that hard work pay off.
There’s so much to do. The hills, lakes, dales, towns and trails of Northeast Georgia have something for everyone.

Take a tip from a guy who has tasted some of the finest food offered in them thar hills. Don’t go back home without stopping at The Back Porch Oyster Bar in Dahlonega for a taste of their Thai Chili Calamari.
Granted, it doesn’t look all that good. I mean, what the heck are all those squiggly things?
(Better not to ask, trust me.)
Eat the Thai Chili Calamari anyway. I have never tasted a meal that was so delicious. In my life. Ever.
Of course, I haven’t eaten everywhere in the Northeast Georgia Mountains.
There might be something even better out there … waiting for you and your friends.
