Morganton is a tiny town located near Blue Ridge Lake and close to many amenities. You can go fishing, tubing, shopping, dining, apple picking, train riding, brewery hoping, wine tasting and gambling all in a short drive. Downtown Blue Ridge was established as a railroad town and has a train depot at its heart along with several shops and restaurants including local breweries. If you head northwest (hwy 5) from Downtown Blue Ridge, you'll run into a family owned and operated apple orchard, Mercier Orchards. They have every apple thing you can think of and offer fun tractor rides to pick your own peck. Aska Road also offers a beautiful scenic drive around the area with hidden waterfalls and hiking and biking trails. Our family has enjoyed the north Georgia mountains for almost 30 years. If you have any questions or need any advice, we'd be more than happy to give recommendations. Blue Ridge is only 90 miles north of Atlanta on I-575.
