Southern Living’s 16 Things to do in Gainesville

Southern Living magazine has released its list of 16 Things to do in Gainesville.

“Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Gainesville, Georgia, is known for lush green spaces, an expansive lake, and quaint university-town culture,” the magazine says in introducing our town to its readers.

“It’s only an hour north of Atlanta, but it’s well worth a day trip or even an overnight visit. Once internationally recognized for being a major host to several 1996 Summer Olympics events, more than two decades later, Gainesville has channeled that popularity into becoming known as a top city for visitors in Georgia, and residents love it too. Interior designer Maggie Griffin makes her home in Gainesville and says, ‘Gainesville is what we call our big small town’.”

And the #1 thing to do? Why, jump in the lake, of course.
