Scenic U. S. Highway 64 through the gorge offers many photographic opportunities and there are swimming holes, picnic areas, a native garden and much more. The Whitewater Center has great hiking and biking trails for families, including a one-mile hiking trail which crosses a 330 foot suspension bridge and circles the center. There are an additional 20 miles of trails for hikers and mountain bikers. The Old Copper Road Historic Trail allows hikers and bikers an easier paced adventure along the restored path that was used to transport copper by wagon from Ducktown to Cleveland before the arrival of the railroad from Blue Ridge.

As the Scenic Railway arrives in McCaysville, it crosses an old iron bridge over the Toccoa River on Old River Road near Horseshoe Bend Park. The riveted Baltimore truss bridge was built in 1926 by the L & N Railroad and later acquired by CSX and Georgia Northeastern Railroad. 🌟Bonus, if you head to Horseshoe Bend Park, you will see a fish trap in the water as you are pulling into the park!
