Hidden Gems of Greene County and Lake Oconee
Nestled in the hills and valleys of Greene County, Georgia, you will find the hidden gem of Lake Oconee. Exit 130 from Interstate 20 puts you in the perfect position to try some unique and surprisingly diverse dishes.
Dining
Take a right, and you will find yourself heading toward the Linger Longer Steakhouse, where the seafood is fresh, the steaks are cooked to perfection and each meal ends with a giant ball of cotton candy. (Yes, cotton candy!)
Shopping
In Greensboro, Ripe Thing Market offers more than just super fresh fruits and vegetables, local eggs, grits, and an impressive selection of infused olive oils and aged vinegars. You can also buy made-to-order sandwiches, homemade soups, and even hand-rolled tamales.
If you’d like to take some local flavor home with you, visit Genuine Georgia Marketplace on your way out of town. There, you can find beautiful artwork created by Georgia artists, and jars of seasonal jellies, jams and pickles made by Zandra, a lady who lives right in Greene County.
