Hiawassee and Young Harris in Towns County North Georgia Mountains

Brasstown Valley and neighboring Lake Chatuge are extraordinary examples of the beauty that is contained within the rugged mountain peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Towns County, Georgia.

Traveling east on US 76, across a gap north of Cedar Cliff Mountain, you will behold "the Enchanted Valley." As the highway drops before you, the mammoth mountain ranges of the Nantahala National Forest are to the northeast. As you continue to glide down the sloped pavement, you'll begin to see the turquoise blue waters of Lake Chatuge.

Once you've enter the Enchanted Valley you will be overwhelmed by its beauty. The entire center of the valley is composed of a 7,500 acre lake lined with forests and lakeshore homes. Lake Chatuge is completely surrounded by high mountain peaks. The mountains to the north, across the lake are the Nantahala Mountains of North Carolina. To the south and east are the mountain peaks of the Chattahoochee National Forest with several access points onto the Appalachian Trail.

Contained within the Chattahoochee National Forest in Towns County, you'll find the rugged back country of Brasstown and Tray Mountain Wilderness. To the southwest you'll find Brasstown Bald.

The Appalachian Trail traverses along the southern mountain ridges of the Chattahoochee National Forest, high above the Enchanted Valley. Turning north along the southeastern regions of Towns County, near the Rabun County Lines, on US 76 you'll reach Dick's Gap and a crossing and entrance to the Appalachian Trail.

You can follow the southern shores of Lake Chatuge along US 76 . The lake flows north from Georgia into North Carolina. This section of Towns County is considered the heart of the North Georgia mountains.
