Clarkesville, Georgia is a wonderful small town just thirty minutes south of the fabulous Lake Burton. The town offers some great antiquing, restaurants and walking tours. The Attic restaurant is awesome for a succulent steak and glass of wine. Right outside the town square, is the Old Clarkesville Mill and Antique Mall where you can browse over 100 vendors in a half-acre former mill. ....read more

Near Clarkesville is the Soque River. It is a trout fisherman's paradise. One must visit Mark of the Potter in Clarkesville, just to see the size of the trout in this river. It is an awesome hand-crafted pottery shop by local artists that overlooks the Soque River. From the balcony of the store you can feed the trout fish below. You can not fish there, but you certainly can see the school of trout that hang out there below the shop. The shop is housed in an original grist mill and is a sight to see in and of itself.
