Culture
Due to its small size and optimal location, outdoor recreation is easily Helen's biggest draw. It's a great launching point for an exploration of the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, with a huge number of trails starting from trailheads near town. Day hikes and wildlife viewing are both at their best during the spring and the fall, but Oktoberfest is the biggest event of the year, taking place right inside town. This festival is the perfect chance to celebrate German heritage and drink some great beers.
