Description
Join us for a train ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway and visit the cities of Blue Ridge, McCaysville & Copperhill. Your journey will begin at the historic depot in downtown Blue Ridge where you will board the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. This one-hour train ride will take you to visit the small sister towns of McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill, Tennessee. Located on each state’s line, also known as “The Blue Line,” guests have the unique opportunity to have a foot in Georgia and Tennessee at the same time. While in the town for a two-hour layover, we recommend that you visit Toccoa-Ocoee Street to explore delightful eateries, antique and specialty shops, and art galleries before boarding the train for the hour-long return. The Copper Basin Experience Master Plan session will discuss how McCaysville & Copperhill joined forces in creating a master plan. Once back at the Blue Ridge depot, you can visit the “Antique Capital” of Georgia, which is also a hub for art, live music, and more.
