Clayton, Georgia
Clayton is a quaint Blue-Ridge-Mountains community just two hours north of Atlanta. On the Eastern Continental Divide, the town is the gateway to Black Rock Mountain State Park — the highest state park in Georgia. With wildflowers, fishing, waterfalls and 80-mile views, it’s a must-visit.
The charming streets of downtown contain upscale clothing boutiques, home decor mercantile and accessory apothecaries. Stop into Reeves Hardware, which began trading in 1928 and is still hawking everything from caulk to Carhartt and fly-fishing equipment. Of course, a trip to Clayton wouldn’t be complete without a hand-crafted, Georgia-peach Smash Soda at The Clayton Pharmacy and Soda Fountain Restaurant.
