The Cohutta-Chattahoochee Scenic Byway stretches along United States Route 41 through the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest, stretching for 54 miles from the town of Chatsworth to Fort Mountain State Park. The route offers some of Georgia's most breathtaking views of the Cohutta Mountains and passes beautiful historic sites, including Prater's Mill, a working water-powered grist mill constructed in 1855 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Civil War sites along the route include the Dalton Confederate Cemetery and Memorial Wall, which preserves the gravesites of more than 200 Confederate soldiers. Beautiful 3,700-acre Fort Mountain State Park offers hiking trails and archaeological remains, while the town of Ellijay, known as Georgia's Apple Capital, is home to quaint apple houses offering fruit tastings throughout the harvest season.
