Or maybe you like the thrill of a long journey up a mountain? One trail that not many people know about is the Hardman Farm Heritage Trail. This one-mile ADA-accessible trail is full of educational benefits and will take you right from a historic site to one of the most charming small towns in Georgia. Check it out:

The Hardman Farm property is probably best known as the home of the Sautee Nacoochee Indian Mound. The large mound is visible from the road and is now in the middle of a cow pasture. It was used as a burial ground by Native Americans that once lived in the area.

Helen was once a logging town and was rebranded in the 1970s as an Alpine-themed tourist destination. It's one of the most charming small towns in Georgia.
This is a pretty neat trail in its own right, even if you don't take into account the fascinating endpoints at either location. The trail is completely accessible and has interpretative signs about the area and local wildlife.
