Lavonia offers visitors and local residents a taste of the simply charming life of a small southern town. Situated just off I-85, Lavonia is located midway between Atlanta and Greenville, SC. Both metropolitan areas are only a little over an hour away, but you'll find everything you need right here. Lavonia boasts several unique restaurant and shopping opportunities, as well as lodging facilities. If you are looking for relaxation or a fun-filled weekend, then you're in the right place. Lake Hartwell, one of the south's largest recreational lakes, offers the opportunity of fishing, swimming, boating, sailing, or jet skiing. Franklin County is also home to two Georgia State Parks: Tugaloo State Park located on the shores of Lake Hartwell and Victoria Bryant located in Royston, GA. If you are visiting Lavonia during the month of June, you will not want to miss one of our newest attractions, Franklin County's Folk Life Play: Land of Spirit. Each June, a new play is written and brought to life from stories of the people of Franklin and surrounding counties. The play runs each Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during the month of June.
