Remove Bird Feeders
Please be reminded that according to city ordinance, all bird feeders must be taken down on April 15 and should not be put out again until November 15.
This precaution is in place due to bears becoming active from now until fall. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in helping to prevent potential bear encounters.
The city is aware that many of the street signs affixed to the stop signs are pointing in the wrong direction. When we put up the new stop signs, the wrong sign brackets were shipped to us, We now have the right ones.
We have also recently received new street signs that will be affixed with the correct brackets to the new stop signs and the directional issues will be fixed.

Sky Valley, GA
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.
Make sure to put Sky Valley on your list of places to see while visiting the mountains of Georgia and North Carolina. You will not be disappointed.
