Town of Mountain City

A mountain recreation and retirement haven uniquely situated, with the western boundary being the "Big A.T.", the Appalachian Trail; the east borders the Chattooga River, designated a "wild and scenic river" by an act of congress. Today, federally licensed companies offer rafting trips to visitors. The south gateway is the Tallulah Gorge, carved from a once roaring river, now dammed, which creates a breathtaking canyon. Just inside the northeastern border is Rabun Bald, a remote, serene mountain peak at 4690 feet.
