VISIT RABUN

Come visit our piece of heaven

Rabun County's vast expanse of National Forests, accompanied by a seemingly endless supply of remote woodlands, protected lakes and miles of peaceful river, make it a wonderful retreat for those who want to get away from it all.

Things to Do: Waterfalls

Minnehaha Falls

Things to Do: Scenic Drives

Highway 76 winds east/west through breath-taking mountain scenery. Fortunately for Rabun County, some fantastic views are available here.

ASK THE EXPERTS

Choose a family physician

Some doctors don't have to look at a chart to know your name or how you are feeling.

Choose an affordable builder

Whether you are buying a condo, a townhouse, a house in a subdivision, or a custom built house, you want to know that you are buying a good quality home from a reputable builder. Once you have thought about the type of house you want, where should you look for a builder? First, check with your local Chamber of Commerce to obtain a list of builders who construct homes in your area. You might also try a search at HomeBuilder.com, the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) official new homes listing Web site.

Picking the right Realtor

The terms agent, broker and Realtor are often used interchangeably, but have very different meanings. For example, not all agents (also called salespersons) or brokers are Realtors. Learn who is a Realtor and the reasons why you should use one.

All-Stars coming down final stretch

Many of the Rabun County all-star softball and baseball teams had high hopes heading into District 7 playoff competition, but those aspirations have all-but faded as most teams have bowed out of their respective tournaments.

Boys hone skills at camp, meet Coach K

When Matthew Addis, 12, of Clayton suited up to participate in the 29th annual Duke Basketball Camp, the particular shade of blue T-shirts and shorts he was made to wear were much too dark and probably didn't feel quite right.
