Explore the Towns of Blue Ridge, McCaysville, & the Copper Basin
You will fall in love with the mountain towns of Blue Ridge and McCaysville. Once an elite health resort known for pure mineral waters, Blue Ridge was established as a railroad town, with the depot at its heart. Today, visitors continue to ride the Scenic Railway, explore Main Street’s shops and galleries, and enjoy the friendly small-town atmosphere. A river runs through the quaint town of McCaysville, twin city with Copperhill, Tennessee. Stand in both states at one time at the Blue Line, which marks the spot where Georgia ends and Tennessee begins.
