Experience the beauty of North Georgia aboard the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Departing from the historic 1905 depot in downtown Blue Ridge, each scenic journey follows the Toccoa River through the Appalachian Mountains, crossing into Tennessee before returning.

Choose from two-hour and four-hour round-trip excursions, with the extended ride including time to explore the charming twin towns of McCaysville, Georgia, and Copperhill, Tennessee.

Travel in restored vintage railcars, including open-air and climate-controlled coaches, while enjoying stunning mountain views and the timeless charm of rail travel.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning for a seasonal excursion, the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway offers one of North Georgia’s most memorable experiences.
