There are many opportunities to find the unique while shopping in Toccoa,but it is also perfect for nature lovers and outdoorsmen. Hiking Trails include Broad River and Panther Creek each offering a unique hiking experience ideal for novice and/or family groups.

A beautiful, 186-foot-high waterfall, Toccoa Falls is one of the tallest free-falling waterfalls east of the Mississippi 18 SUMMER 2014 • DESIGN&BUILD MAGAZINE River. It is located on the campus of Toccoa Falls College, a four-year, fully accredited Christian college. A meandering stream flows through the lower part of the 1,000-acre, wooded campus from the base of the waterfall. A favorite attraction in Toccoa is Currahee Mountain, the last mountain of the Blue Ridge chain that rises more than 1,700 feet about sea level. According to legend, Cherokee Native Americans named the mountain Currahee (quu-wa-hi, meaning “stands alone”). On clear days, the peak’s 1,735-foot summit is visible for many miles and is a prominent landmark to the southeast of Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountain crest. The historic Southern Crescent, now known officially as the Amtrak Crescent, runs twice daily between New York City and New Orleans with stops that include Toccoa, Gainesville and Atlanta ... an amenity that adds to the uniqueness of our beautiful city. The Toccoa Symphony performs annual concerts throughout the year in Stephens County. For theater lovers, the Toccoa Stephens County Community Theatre presents several theatrical productions each year at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts. During the summer months the Ida Cox Music Series brings a variety of music genres to the outdoor stage located on Doyle Street. The Currahee Military Museum receives visitors from around the world. Located in the historic train depot the museum features a massive exhibit of 506 Easy Company. This World War II paratrooper division was popularized by Stephen Ambrose’s book “Band of Brothers,” the HBO Miniseries “Band of Brothers,” and the blockbuster movie “Saving Private Ryan.” The depot has been restored to its pre-1940′s appearance and is now home to the Chamber of Commerce, local Welcome Center, and Stephens County Historical Society Museum.
“Spend some time with us and find out why we think our city is one of the greatest places to live in the world.” Doyle Street (Toccoa’s Main Street) provides many opportunities to shop, play, and dine while in downtown Toccoa and the historic courthouse, built in 1907 is a great visual anchor to the newly renovated downtown district.
