Jacksonville, FL to Hiawassee, GA Route Ideas

[Nomeslee]

We have a 31' Class C motorhome with a car dolly and are looking for suggestions for the best route into Hiawassee that won't be too challenging/stressful of a drive. We're concerned about choosing a route through the mountains that won't have hairpin turns or really steep grades.

Google "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!

I 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.

Your 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.

I75 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.
