Route from Ocala FL to Hiawassee GA

[slowe]

Looking for a route from Ocala Fl. to Hiawassee Ga. We have a 36' M.H. with a tow dolly. Looking to avoid narrow roads as much as possible. We are staying at Mt. View C/G.

Thanks

I live in Hiawassee, formerly Tampa.  I avoid Atlanta.   Sherman burned it to the ground and some fools rebuilt it.  That said, take I-75 to Perry.  There is a good half way campground in Elko Exit 127, easy on easy off , Twin Oaks Campground.  Large pull thru sites for travelers.   They are very accommodating and the only campground that I know of that will book you a site without a deposit.

Continue on I-75 to Macon, pick up RT. 129n to Athens.  Pick up RT.441n to Clarksville.  Pick up RT.17 to Helen and RT.17/75 Unicoi Turnpike to Hiawassee.    If you haven't been to Hiawassee before, you'll love the ride from Helen to Hiawassee.  Buckle up and pucker up.

I agree with Dave. Going to Hiawassee from the East on Rt 17 / 75 is easier then going in on 66 / from Rt. 128 at Blairsville.

You will be traveling on Rt that kind of fallows the Trail of Tears.

It is very Country, but a nice relaxing area to spend some time.
