The train route consists of a 26-mile round trip through historic Murphy Junction along the beautiful Toccoa River. This railroad was built over 100 years ago and is the only mainline railroad excursion service based in Georgia. Each trip begins at the depot in Blue Ridge, GA and includes a stop in McCaysville which permits passengers to disembark and stretch their legs while exploring the downtown communities of McCaysville, Georgia and Copperhill, Tennessee. Each round trip takes approximately 3 hours.

Amicalola Falls State Park is east of Jasper, Georgia, and northwest of Atlanta. Although not the quickest or easiest route, State Highway 136 affords the best long distance view of the falls' 729-foot tumble. It is absolutely stunning, especially in the winter when the barren trees afford the falls little cover. The waterfall dwarfs the modern lodge to the right.
