2. Go Horseback Riding
No mountain adventure is complete without a horseback ride! There are tons of places to go horseback riding in Blue Ridge, and most of them are kid-friendly. Blue Ridge Mountain Trail has something for all riders, from beginner to expert levels. The trail rides typically last about an hour and kids ages 7 and up can participate. The trail will take you alongside bubbling creeks and lush, wooded canopies. It’s the perfect way to reconnect with your family and with nature.
3. Ride the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway
For a relaxing afternoon with your family, take a ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. The adventure begins when you board the train at the historic depot, in downtown Blue Ridge, GA. This scenic roundtrip winds along the Toccoa River until arriving in the sister towns of McCaysville and Copperhill. There is a 2-hour layover here, which serves as the perfect opportunity for you and your family to go exploring! There will be plenty of time for you to stop for a bite to eat, shop for unique items, or view the river from the old bridge in town.
