Must visit! This quirky stop's name is literal. You can feed the goats before stepping inside for a souvenir or (really good) ice cream. Check the hours for food trucks and events.

Several hiking options, and a suspension bridge for those not scared of heights with amazing views. If you want to hike all the way down, get there early on the weekends; only 100 permits are given each day to hike down to the gorge floor and “Sliding Rock.”

Our favorite place to find a souvenir! Wander is a lifestyle as much as a store, and a must visit when you're in town. They stock some hiking gear and have a solid book option if you need something to read!

Pretty easy hike, great for children. Some narrow/rocky parts of the trail, but it follows a stream and ends at a beautiful waterfall. The drive to the trail goes through Historic Lakemont and along Lake Rabun, which are picturesque and make for a lovely trip.
