Gilmer County Georgia, along the Southern Highroads' Trail.
Wildlife abounds in the many forests, rivers, lakes, and streams.
Apple and peach orchards and dairy and chicken farms provide picturesque views through the valleys. The bright beauty of apple blossoms and wild flowers in the Spring. The new life of young animals, the lush green of Summer crops and forest foliage, the rust, gold, red, and green of Autumn leaves and apples, and the strength and simplicity of the Winter landscape all combine to produce an ever-changing panorama of the land and its people. The first white people were, in all likelihood, the explorer DeSoto and his followers, who, it is believed, went through Gilmer County in their exploration of this territory. The Cherokee Indians were the first settlers of the area.
