Special Considerations

The only regular seasonal limitations are imposed on recreational facilities. Andrews Cove is closed from late November until early May, and the Chattahoochee River Campground is closed from early November until late March. The Chattahoochee Campground is open for Wildlife Management Area hunts in November and December. Also, the visitor center at Brasstown Bald is open daily from Memorial Day until early November, and it is open on weekends during the spring and fall, depending on weather conditions.

Restrictions

State Road 348 is fully open for traffic, but Spur 180 to Brasstown Bald Visitor Information Center may be closed due to snow or ice.

Seasons

Best Time to Drive

The autumn reds and yellows of the Chattahoochee National Forest make fall the best season to drive the byway.

High Season

Since most of the recreational areas are closed in the winter, summer and fall are the busiest seasons.
