In less than three weeks, a total solar eclipse will make its way across the country, and part of northeast Georgia is in the path of totality!
At about 2:20 pm on Aug. 21, the moon will pass in front of the sun, resulting in a near blackout in North Georgia.

With 11 counties to choose from, offering between 30 seconds and more than two and 1/2 minutes of total eclipse time, there are plenty of options.
But for the longest experience, you’ll have to head to Rabun County.
