Walker County, Georgia
Walker County sits in the northwest corner of Georgia, right up against the Tennessee border. Walker balances natural beauty with industrial grit. LaFayette is the county seat with a small-town charm that’s hard to fake.
Lookout Mountain looms large here, both literally and in local pride. The view from Rock City is something else. Cloudland Canyon State Park is a hiker’s paradise.
Chickamauga Battlefield draws history buffs from all over. The county has deep roots in mining and manufacturing. But these days tourism is big too with its parks and mountains. This county is pure Georgia, through and through.
