Brasstown Bald is the highest mountain peak in Georgia. It has a park with a picnic area and a small observation tower near the peak with a movie chronicling the change of seasons and the impact of pollution on the mountain. The peak may be reached by bus or by walking from a point halfway to the top, beyond which private vehicles are not allowed.
Excellent views from the top if it's not too cloudy. It's a "short" path up to the top, but it is very steep and tiring. Consider paying the extra for the team and walk down if you'd like. At the top is a small museum and scenic views. Very nice day or half day trip.

There's quite a lot to sample and buy but unfortunately, this farmers market isn't open very much, just Saturdays starting in June and going through late Oct.
