River rafting on the Toccoa.

If the season’s right, this is your splashy, adrenaline-packed adventure moment.

6:30 PM – Dinner at Burra Burra On the River

Ease into vacation mode with dinner just down the road. It’s nothing fancy — think good burgers, fish tacos, and a view that reminds you why you’re here.
