If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Located 17 miles away, Topton is worth getting in the car for. Nantahala Lake, Nantahala National Forest and Appalachian Rivers Raft Company alone justify the drive out here. Don’t miss Blairsville either! Just 20 miles away, Union County Farmers Market, North Georgia’s Premier Fishing Guide Service and Old Union Golf Course are non-negotiable stops here.
