Just 15 minutes from the home of the University of Georgia in Athens, and an easy drive from the metropolitan cities of Atlanta and Greenville, South Carolina, Danielsville and Madison County offers a laid back respite. Lush pastures and rolling hills, acres of natural pine and hardwood forests, peaceful streams and rocky rivers surround six small towns. Great for biking, motorcycle rides and meandering the countryside in your car. Nearby Watson Mill Bridge State Park has the longest covered bridge in Georgia and during the late spring, summer and early fall, the shoals are covered with folks enjoying a lazy afternoon in the sun. For wine lovers, a visit to Boutier Winery for a tour and tasting is a must. A visit to the area is not complete without a trip down the Broad River.
