So where do Atlantans go for fun? One of the most popular mountain destinations is Big Canoe, Georgia.
The community includes 8000 acres of serenity, stunning mountain views, twenty five miles of scenic trails leading to breathtaking vistas and gorgeous waterfalls...
not to mention a country club with twenty seven holes of championship-style golf, tennis, fishing, boating, a state of the art fitness center, three swimming facilities, and gated 24 hour security with roaming patrol.
Although there are other north Georgia mountain destinations around, Big Canoe is one of the very few self-contained communities with all the amenities of a luxury resort available on the premises.
And, because it's located only an hour north of the city, Big Canoe is rapidly becoming not only a vacation or second home destination, but a fulltime residence for many people who work in the northern suburbs of Atlanta.
Suburban Atlanta cities such as Canton, Cumming, and Alpharetta can be reached in about 30 minutes from the gated entrances of the community.
Many businesses are locating in these areas; the new technology centers in Alpharetta and Cumming/South Forsyth, for example.
In fact, Big Canoe is becoming more and more like a small town itself.
In addition to all the recreational amenities, there's a village center inside the gates with the community's own post office and several businesses, along with a very active nondenominational chapel, and a private elementary school just outside the gates.
The community hosts concerts from renowned artists and other entertainment at its own amphitheater.
There's also community elected officials who control an annual budget in the millions.
Another feature of Big Canoe is its central location in the north Georgia mountains for many other interesting destinations such as Amicalola Falls State Park (with a 729' waterfall and the southern access to the beginning of the Appalachian Trail), Historic Dahlonega; the Kangaroo Conservation Center, the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall, and much more.
