One of those is the small city of Blue Ridge, situated about 100 miles north of Atlanta. The town's walkable Main Street anchors Blue Ridge's rail and river setting and is lined with charming shops, parks, and restaurants. From downtown's Blue Ridge Park and Play Park (which one reviewer called a "beautiful park in the middle of town activities") to Blue Ridge Recreational Park and The Haven Off-Leash Dog Park. Its river setting is also why the small town is well known for abundant trout fishing. Blue Ridge is the county seat of Fannin County, also known as the "Trout Capital of Georgia."
