Atlanta is a secluded retreat near the Middle Fork of the Boise River. Established as a gold mining town in 1864, the population of Atlanta hovers around 50 people. The surrounding area is spectacular and well worth a visit. The area offers everything from modern amenities to ghost towns. Enjoy dramatic mountain scenery and rugged desert vistas.

Each year in late August/early September, the town hosts "Atlanta Days" featuring live music, great food and even gold panning for the kids.
