Epworth won't show up on many attraction lists, and that's rather the point — it's a quiet stretch of the Toccoa River tucked between the more heavily visited towns of Blue Ridge and McCaysville. Fishing and kayaking the river fill most of a day here, with national forest trails nearby for hikers. When you want a change of pace, both neighboring towns are close enough for an easy outing. Blue Ridge brings its scenic railway and downtown shops; McCaysville brings its riverwalk and border-town novelty. From an Epworth campsite, both are within reach, along with the Ocoee River's whitewater rafting just across the Tennessee line.

It's a low-key option for travelers who want mountain scenery and river access without staying in the thick of a busier town center, and it puts Lake Blue Ridge, the scenic railway, and the Cohutta Wilderness all within striking distance.
