Nestled in the northeast Georgia mountains, the Lake Chatuge areas of Hiawassee & Young Harris, offer a variety of outdoor activities for the entire family.  And fall time is no exception!  Lake Chatuge has over 7,000 acres to enjoy, visitors can stay & play on our beautiful lake for many days & nights.  Fall in the mountains is a favorite time for many people.  There is no shortage of festivals and hiking /walking trails with gorgeous lake and mountain views at each turn. Artisans and musicians alike find calm in the mountain area and are drawn here each year for various festivals and events.  

On the shores of Lake Chatuge, you will find the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds- home to the Fall Festival and Appalachian Brew & Music Festival both in October.  Visitors can enjoy days of music, arts, crafts and of course everyone’s favorite fair foods.  Check out our events calendar at www.golakechatuge.com for dates, times and prices for the events.
