Located in the Aska Adventure Area of Blue Ridge. The Aska Adventure Area is located a few miles out of the City of Blue Ridge, but it is still part of Fannin County. Riddled with hiking trails including large sections of the Appalachian Trail and of the Benton MacKaye Trail, the Aska Adventure Area is the home of the Toccoa River, a favorite summer activity with hundreds of tubers enjoying this beautiful natural wonder.

The Aska Adventure Area starts when you turn off onto Aska Road, just past Ace Hardware Store. A beautiful, winding path takes you south (uphill) towards the best this area has to offer. On your left, you will pass Aska Farms – an amazing and picturesque Farm, where weddings are an every day occurrence. Slow down and enjoy the scenery and enjoy the cows, horses and (in early spring) the beautiful Bradford Pearl trees on this picturesque property.

You will drive by the famous Aska Trails – a very popular hiking area for our visitors. Although not really designed for serious hikers, the Aska Trails offer a great hiking experience for beginners as well as people who can do a nice seven mile loop. Please be warned, that especially in season, these trails are very busy, so if you are looking for a peaceful and silent experience of our natural beauty, you might be mobbed and find yourself in the middle of a noisy experience.

In a further few miles of leisurely drive you will see the Toccoa River on your left, where you can pull over and take a dip or simply take photographs. The famous ‘party rocks’ were the subject of some controversy a few years ago, but are definitely worth a stop.

A few miles further south, the Lilly Pad Village will be on your left – you simply cannot miss the large fishing pond and (especially in season) the numerous cars, guests and kids enjoying a day of gem mining, mini golf and fishing. The mini golf is absolutely unique – built into the side of a mountain – very cool and shaded in the summer, not to mention the sounds of nature that surround you while you meet the challenge. The gem mining is perhaps the best – they do spend a lot of time explaining the finds and make your experience not just fun, but educational also. Not many gem mining companies offer the this service or guarantee the best finds!

Fire Station Lucky 13:
Fire Station Lucky 13 is a quarter mile on your right and is the social center of the Aska Adventure Area. Staffed by volunteers, this Fire Station is also the home to Aska CERT..

The Toccoa Riverside Restaurant will be just half a mile past the Lilly Pad Village and is the largest sit down, family style restaurant in the Aska Adventure Area. Having been destroyed by a fire a few years ago, the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant was re-built and offer an amazing view of the Toccoa River as well as great food (Trout is my favorite).

Directly across from the restaurant is Stanley Creek Road – actually a beautiful winding party paved partly gravel road, which is actually a shortcut to Hwy 115 just north of Ellijay. The first part of this road in Fannin County is actually part of the Benton MacKaye Trail System and your turn to take if you are looking for Falls Branch Falls.

The Aska Hiking Trails are within walking distance otherwise most attractions will require driving to.
