Summer Rides
Take a break this summer on our 2-hour or 4-hour Summer Rides. You’ll journey 26 miles roundtrip through the countryside along the Toccoa River, discovering winding rivers, rich wildlife, and the historic background of our small town.
The 2-hour Express Tours are perfect for those who want a quicker trip and more time in Downtown Blue Ridge, and our 4-Hour Extended Tours are great for those who want some time to explore the twin towns of McCaysville / Copperhill during a 2-hour layover.
(No Layover)
Our 2-hour Express is perfect for those looking for a shorter ride. It travels the same roundtrip journey along the Toccoa River as our 4-hour trips.
with State Line Layover
Riders take a 4-hour, 26-mile roundtrip journey along the Toccoa River to McCaysville, GA / Copperhill, TN. There is a 2-hour layover in these cities.
to riders 18 and older.
