Per Rabun Co. 911, please refrain from calling them regarding road status. Public Works Crews continue to plow and treat our roads; however, 911 has no way of knowing city road status nor has the manpower to take such non-emergency calls.
City roads ARE icy! So are county and state roads leading into and out of Sky Valley. If you do not have to go anywhere, please stay home and off the roads.

Winter Travel Safety: Navigating Rabun County and Sky Valley Roads
Winter travel comes with unique risks, especially on the scenic roads of Rabun County and Sky Valley. It’s essential to be prepared for unexpected challenges like freezing temperatures, icy roads, and harsh weather conditions.
From snow to ice storms and high winds, stay informed about the winter risks in the areas you visit. Always check local weather forecasts and warnings before hitting the road.
If road conditions are poor, consider postponing non-essential travel until they improve. For essential trips, ensure you're prepared with an emergency supply kit, a fully charged power bank for your phone, and plenty of warm clothing in case of delays.
Finally, inform someone of your planned route and expected arrival time. Taking these precautions will help keep your winter journey safe and stress-free!
You just never know with the weather in North Georgia. Stay safe.

Nestled in the southern tip of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, Rabun County is strategically located in the center of many major metropolitan areas. Knoxville, Charlotte, Augusta and Macon, are all under a 3 hour drive and Atlanta, Greenville, Asheville, and Chattanooga are all within 1 to 2 hours.
The highest point in Rabun County and the second highest in Georgia is Rabun Bald at 4,696 feet with surrounding mountains ranging in height from 2,500 to 4,500 feet. In late May and June, laurel blooms along the creek banks, in coves, on cliffs and on hilltops, and rhododendron blooms in July. In October, the mountains take on a profusion of color as the leaves begin to change for autumn.
