ExploreB.J. Reece Orchards
Dawsonville·All ages·Outdoor
B.J. Reece is the apple-country day trip: u-pick apples September and October, plus a fall lineup that scales with your ticket — petting zoo, farm slide, and corn box on weekdays, adding wagon rides, pig races, cow milking, a jumping pillow, cow train, apple cannon, and pony rides on weekends. The farm market and bakery run year-round, and the fried pies and apple cider doughnuts are the reason people leave with two boxes. It's up Highway 52 past Amicalola in Ellijay — a real outing, worth a full morning.
ExploreBurt's Pumpkin Farm
Dawsonville·All ages·Outdoor·Free
Burt's is the classic North Georgia pumpkin stop, mountains of pumpkins in every size just down the road from Amicalola Falls. There's no admission — you pay for your pumpkins and the hayride — and picnic tables where outside food is welcome, plus BBQ, popcorn, and baked goods if you'd rather buy lunch. Weekday mornings are the calm window; October weekends are the full pumpkin-pilgrimage experience.
