Helen, Georgia

 Helen is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Chattahoochee River in northeastern Georgia and is a town like no other.  Helen is quite unique and charming in that it's a replica of a German Alpine Village accented with cobblestone alleys, old-world towers and architecture to mimic that of Bavaria, Germany.  Helen stays true to its Bavarian theme from the names of restaurants, shops and accommodations to overall atmosphere that radiates from this quaint little town.  Helen's attractions include Unicoi State Park, Anna Ruby Falls, tubing the Chattahoochee River or even strolling the streets while enjoying the town's unique ambiance.  I visited Helen last summer and had a wonderful time.  I highly recommend "tubin' the hooch" as the locals call it; however, this is a seasonal activity only available during the summer months beginning in May.  It is quite entertaining and a really enjoyable experience!  Helen caters to those young and old and provides something for every member of the family to enjoy.  If you're looking for a unique experience, Helen, GA is the place to go.
