While having spent nearly three full decades in the peach state, I’ve witnessed a fantastic level of varied scenery. We’ve got the usual mountains, valleys, beaches, and low-lands, and so much more. Here’s a brief summary of rural settings that add a great deal to the urban Atlanta offerings:
The Northern High Country
Georgia marks the Southern start of the Appalachian Mountains which extend 14 states up the eastern seaboard to Maine. One can witness marked trails, scenic overlooks, railroad passes, rivers, and wildlife galore. Peak elevations along the Appalachian Trail (AT) run between 2,500 and 4,400 feet along the 78.5 miles route in Georgia.
Atlantic Coastline
A 100 mile beach front extends from Savannah to Cumberland Island with plenty of rivers, streams, swamps, estuaries, islands, and small inland towns. Several wildlife refuge/management areas offer interesting nature settings mixed with limited development.
Farmland
More than a quarter of the state has level fields for growing crops (nearly eight million acres). Elevations range in the low 200 to 100 feet, and most undeveloped farmland portions contain pine trees.
Tallulah Gorge
Some extreme waterfalls, nearby lake reservoir, and dozens of small cities dot the northeastern regions adjoining South Carolina. In total, there are over 500 cities around the state, each with its own unique charm.
However our team of talents may assist producers, location scouts, and directors of photography, we have a state full of resources that are dedicated to serving the film industry. Independent productions are a specialty. We can review production ideas, options, and Georgia filming/post tax incentives.
