During the day, local fun is focused on the lake—skiers hit the water in the morning, while fishing, swimming, and boating can fill an afternoon. Rent a pontoon boat, kayak, canoe, or hop aboard a cocktail cruise to ogle the rainbow of colorful boathouses. Just a few minutes away, miles of Blue Ridge Mountain trails reveal Rabun County’s scenic sites, including Minnehaha Falls and Tallulah Falls, and the nearly-1,000-foot-deep Tallulah Gorge.
