Answer a few quick questions and get a day-by-day Georgia itinerary, from the mountains to the coast: a morning stop, an afternoon stop and a town or state park for the evening, grouped so you are not zigzagging across the state. Swap any stop you don’t like, save the ones you do, and share the finished trip with one link.
How the planner works
The planner picks a home base that fits your region, interests and starting city, a town or a state park with cottages or campsites, then fills each day with nearby stops from our guides to state parks, mountain towns, the Georgia coast, waterfalls, historic sites, trails and lakes. Seasonal stops, like U-pick orchards and lake beaches, only show up in the right season. Each day has a Google Maps link with every stop in order, so you get real drive times.

Common Questions
Is the Georgia trip planner free?
Yes. It is free, needs no account and does not collect your name or email. Your plan is saved in the page link, so you can bookmark it or send it to whoever you are traveling with.
Where does the trip planner get its information?
Every stop comes from N-Georgia.com’s own guides to Georgia’s state parks, towns, beaches, waterfalls, trails, lakes and historic sites, from the mountains to the coast. Each stop links to its full guide, which links to the official source for hours, fees and closures.
Does the planner cover all of Georgia?
Yes. Pick North Georgia mountains, the Atlanta area, Middle and east Georgia, the coast and islands or South Georgia, or let the planner choose. Where there is no town nearby, it can base you at a state park with cottages, yurts or campsites.
What is the best home base for a North Georgia weekend?
Dahlonega and Helen are the easiest first trips from Atlanta, and Blue Ridge is the pick for a walkable downtown with lakes and trails nearby. The planner chooses a base for you from your interests and starting city, and you can swap any stop.
