Visitors to this beautiful part of North Georgia have their share of outdoor activities, thanks to the town's proximity to the Lake Blue Ridge reservoir, Toccoa River and Appalachian Mountains. And with such a large LGBT population, it's easy to find gay-owned businesses, like the popular downtown hair salon Indulgence Hair Studio, catering to the area's sizable tourist population.īlue Ridge is located in the Chattahoochee National Forest, a stone's throw away from Tennessee and North Carolina. The area is peppered with cozy bed and breakfasts that range from rustic to luxurious. Originally a logging town, Blue Ridge's bustling downtown district is now home to high-end restaurants, such as the Blue Ridge Brewery and the Black Sheep Restaurant, art galleries and antique shops, including town-favorite High Country Art & Antique.
