About Rabun County
Once designated the "Moonshine Capital of Georgia," Rabun County has transformed its illicit spirits heritage into a celebrated craft beverage scene. Waterfalls cascade through the Chattahoochee National Forest, the Chattooga Wild & Scenic River draws paddlers from across the Southeast, and mountain towns like Clayton and Tallulah Falls reward explorers who venture into Georgia's wildest corner.
