Gilmer
6.8
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Ellijay is Gilmer County's county seat and has become the apple-orchard fall tourism capital of north Georgia, with dozens of farm stands and orchards drawing Atlanta visitors from September through November on GA-515. The Cartecay River and mountain terrain give the county outdoor recreation credentials year-round, and the wine bar and farm restaurant infrastructure built for the tourist economy makes the social environment more accessible than the 33,000 permanent residents would suggest. Like Blue Ridge in adjacent Fannin County, the weekend visitor demographic is broader and more urban than the permanent population. Best engaged on a specific fall weekend rather than as a permanent social base.
