Hiking
From Blue Ridge Gap you can hike the Appalachian Trail, crossing the border between Georgia and North Carolina. The trail can be steep and rocky in some sections, but nothing too hard. The Southern Nantahala Forest is known for its history of bear activity, be cautious, and carry bear spray and a bear canister with you in case you're doing an overnight trip.
