Hamilton Rhododendron Garden at Georgia Mountain Fair (Hiawassee)  |
| The beautiful Hamilton Rhododendron Garden lies sprawled on a hillside sloping to Lake Chatuge near Hiawassee, Georgia on the Georgia Mountain Fair grounds.Started by Fred Hamilton it has now grown to more than 3000 plants. Fred Hamilton developed the yellow azalea, the only domestic yellow azalea in existence, which he named after his wife, Hazel. A botanical paradise fairly bursting with dogwoods, tulip magnolias, native azaleas, lady slippers, trillium and rhododendron awaits your visit. This is a truly enchanted spot. Stroll tranquil pine bark trails as they wind through lush foliage. Feel your cares drift away on the gentle breezes. Remember what peace and quiet is all about. Stroll these trails any time of year.There are no admission charges and the Garden is open daily. |

If you like rhododendron you must visit this place . I go several times a year and always enjoy myself. If you are hungry I would recommend Dainels in town always a great meal.
