- Best time to Go -Union County is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Northeast Georgia where Mother Nature reigns supreme. Delight in the explosion of autumn leaf color in the mountains, or cuddle up in a cozy cabin during the winter. Enjoy horseback riding, golfing, and antiquing year round, or plan your trip around one of our unique festivals. No matter when you come, you’re sure to find why we say "Each Season Something New".
- What You'll Need for Your Visit -Your individual activities will dictate what you need to bring. Spring and fall bring warm days and cool nights. Summers are generally not hot, but evenings remain warm and comfortable. Winters are generally mild, requiring sweaters or jackets, but don't be surprised by an occational snow.
