Casual lunch or upscale dinner, it's all good here. Just across from the North Gate in Northgate Station, so very easy access to BC. We love Sourwood!

We aren't exaggerating when we say these are the biggest "small" ice cream cones we've ever seen. The ice cream is fabulous and perfect for any time of year. They also make excellent coffee. Just be advised that they don't have public restrooms!

Drinks & Nightlife
Friday nights at the Clubhouse always feature live music. If you're really lucky, you'll see Craig and Pioneer Chicken Stand Band during your stay. Decent food but the service can be a little slow, so eat a little something if you're already getting hangry. The brunch buffet every Sunday morning is absolutely the best thing they have here.

Entertainment & Activities
This is a must-see for families with young children. Pick your own pumpkins, pet animals, and do other rustic rural things with the whole family. Traffic can be killer during the weekends and high season, so consider going during the week.

Rain got you down? Kids driving you crazy? Go to Monkey Joe's. They have pretty decent pizza and plenty of junk food to go around, plus arcade games and a selection of indoor bouncy castles and jump houses for all ages. This is also an excellent birthday party venue for kids. Just be sure to reserve your birthday party in advance.

Take NRA and USCCA courses here from certified instructors and learn how to shoot everything from a handgun for concealed carry to that old varmint gun your grandfather left in the attic. This indoor range is closed to the public and open only to instructors and law enforcement, but there are local shooting schools offering training on a regular basis, and the adjacent gun shop is open to the public. Ask Abigail for details.

Arts & Culture
You do know that stock car racing was invented in Dawsonville, right? Moonshiners souped up their stock cars to outrun the feds during Prohibition. "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville" is a NASCAR legend. And about 25 minutes from our front door is the Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery, a museum about 'shine. Not too far away is the racing museum. We suggest visiting both.

Parks & Nature
The entirety of Big Canoe was designed as a nature preserve. Drive around, walk around, look around. Drive across the dam at Lake Petit and soak in those amazing mountain views. Listen for the Chapel bells at 12PM and 6PM every day. Go up McElroy, Sanderlin, or Ridgeview and marvel at the views some houses have, views that you can easily see even from the street. We live in a mountain paradise, and you're here too now. Enjoy it!

Shopping
This store sells everything from candles to furniture to clothing. And all of it is take-home ready and very often, to die for. We bought the antique 1907 silver dresser in the downstairs master bedroom here. Do you like it?

Essentials
The go-to grocery store for Big Canoers. We get practically everything here and the owners and staff are wonderful. Don't be surprised by all the Big Canoe license plates and stickers in the parking lot. "Stopping by the IGA, do you need anything?" is probably the most common text message I send on a weekly basis.
