What it’s like
The place. Cherrylog is a very small community in Gilmer County, in the mountains of north Georgia, where people tend to know one another. Its population is so small that it is little more than a cluster of homes and a few roads. Winters are cold, summers are warm, snow is rare, and rain falls often across the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in manufacturing, shops and the building trades. Jobs in Gilmer County grew over the past year, and unemployment has eased compared with a year earlier. Typical home values here are high for a place of this size.
Things to do. Amicalola Falls, a waterfall a longer drive away, is one of the best known sights in the area. The Chattahoochee–Oconee National Forest, also a longer drive away, is a protected area of woods and mountains for walking and quiet days outdoors. Lake Blue Ridge, a reservoir a short drive away, is a good place for being on the water.
