Pickens County, Georgia
Pickens County nestles in the foothills of North Georgia. Jasper is the county seat and is the main hub of local activity. Marble quarries once defined the area, specifically in Jasper.
You’ll find hiking trails and fishing spots aplenty in Town Creek. Talking Rock Creek winds through the county, a favorite among kayakers and trout fishermen.
The Georgia Marble Festival each October celebrates the area’s unique geological heritage. The Tate House, a pink marble mansion, stands as a reminder of the county’s quarrying past.
