Fall Rides
Come enjoy the stunning fall foliage on our 2-hour or 4-hour Fall 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.
Tickets sell out FAST for these rides, so be sure to book your tickets soon!
