Discover Ellijay
Ellijay, GA was designated Better Home Town for a reason. Small town charm mixing with the growth coming to the county that is dedicated to be the cleanest and greenest county in the state. The quality of life will always want to make you say my home is truly my castle. The schools maintain high standards for your child's education and athletic department that has a string of state and regional championships. How about a school where the principal knows each student by name?
Ellijay has all the outdoor activities your heart desires including tubing down one of our rivers, trout fishing, and hunting. Since the Appalachian Trail begins here and Ellijay was dubbed the Mountain Bike Capital of Georgia, I am sure you will not have trouble finding something to do in this wonderful county. Fort Mtn. State Park flanks the west side and Amicalola Falls Sate Park flanks the east. Carters Lake and Lake Blue Ridge are close by for boating, fishing, and skiing.
The city is surrounded by scenic mountain views, rivers, and farms. The downtown area is keeping the historical importance intact and the wonderfully peaceful streets to walk, shop, eat, and enjoy the seasons as they change. Ellijay is also the Apple Capital of Georgia and there are plenty of apple houses to visit in season and add a nice country feel as you drive by the apple houses and the orchards.
