just about an hour's drive north of Atlanta lies the town of Ellijay, on Carter's Lake in the beautiful mountains of North Georgia. A great mountain getaway, the area has magnificent scenery and trails and facilities for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, swimming, boating and fishing. In the summer, ""Apple Capital of Georgia"" has many orchards open to the public, and there are harvest and crafts festivals in the fall. For those who live to shop, there are many antique shops in town and several outlet malls in nearby Dawsonville and Dalton. Accommodations run the gamut from campgrounds, cabins, motel and hotels to a lodge on the lake.
