Grab Some Breakfast And Rent A Kayak At This Awesome Spot In Georgia

We’re sure by now you’ve felt those springtime vibes creeping into Georgia. Which means it’s only right that you start planning your very first inaugural springtime adventure. Sure, you may want to do something crazy like take the ultimate waterfall road trip through Georgia, but what if you start off with something light and sweet? Start off with a soul-satisfying breakfast and then rent some kayaks to take down the river for this epic all-day adventure.

Blue Ridge, Georgia is home to a plethora of wonderful outdoor activities, but this one might just be the perfect way to kick off the spring season.

Van Zandt’s Riverwalk Grill & Grocery is not just your average store on the side of a country road.

This grocery/market/biggest-pancakes-in-the-south spot offers breakfast and lunch PLUS the longest tubing or kayak float in Blue Ridge.

Visitors to Van Zandt’s can enjoy 4.36 miles of pure relaxation when they snag a kayak or tube and float the waters.

But Van Zandt’s is more than just tube rentals, you can actually score some serious breakfast eats before your trip!

We mentioned the pancakes already, but have you seen the size of these things?!

From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. you can score some breakfast favorites from Biscuits & Gravy to Breakfast Sandwiches or a 3 Egg & Cheese Omelette.

Then after 11 a.m., you can indulge in a satisfying lunch from the grilled 1/2 pound burger to the Max Club Sandwich with seasoned and battered fries.

There aren’t too many places where you can fill your belly and your soul all in the same place.

Spend the day outside, floating at your leisure enjoying the views of the Blue Ridge mountains on all sides.

Then return to Van Zandt’s and grab yourself a seat on the porch, a killer meal, and top it all off with a creamy, refreshing milkshake.
