- LwiddisExplorer III75 is fastest and doesn’t violate federal highway standards on curves and climbs but you do go through Atlanta. There are more scenic routes which I favor.
- jaycocamprsExplorerYour flattest straightest route is I-575/GA-515 out of Marietta, GA. IF you want to stay east of Atlanta, US-441 to Clayton, then US-76 west to Hiawassee. Do not take US-19/129.
- Retired_JSOExplorerI drive to Jacksonville from Blairsville every month. The routes described I-75- I-575-515 is the flattest and fastest route. My bride hates Atlanta traffic so I go a slower, longer less stressful route, I-96/I-16, US441 to Clayton then over the mountain on US76 through Hiawassee to Blairsville.
- RetiredRealtorRExplorerGoogle "directions from Jacksonville FL to Hiawassee GA" -- check the 'avoid highways' box -- and it will give you 3 good routes, all about the same amount of travel time. Have fun!
