Rabun County, Georgia
Rabun County is nestled in Georgia’s northeast corner. It’s a mountain paradise you shouldn’t try to rush through. Clayton is the county seat and is like a gateway to outdoor adventures. You’ll find a mix of rustic cabins and upscale mountain retreats from Atlanta and beyond.
Rabun has been around since 1819, carving its identity from rugged Appalachian terrain. Waterfalls cascade throughout the area, with Tallulah Gorge as the crown jewel. Lake Burton and Rabun are also in the county.
The county’s Appalachian heritage shines through in local craft shops and bluegrass jams. The Georgia Mountain Fair each summer celebrates the area’s rich cultural traditions. Here, you might spot a black bear ambling across a golf course. Beautiful but terrifying at the same time.
