Amicalola Falls State Park
Home to more than 1,500 acres of mountainous terrain and the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi River.
Activities: Hiking, Backpacking, Group tours/day tour
Tallulah Gorge State Park
Looking for something to do for the day and we found this park. A beautiful place to walk, relax and spend the day. Very nice views and stairs make for a little exercise.
Toccoa Falls
Located in Toccoa Ga. on the campus of Toccoa College is the 186 ft water fall.
They charge $2 to see the falls- $1 for Seniors and it's a beautiful spot - lots of parking and a great place to bring a lunch and hang out.
Lots of history in the gift shop run by the college about the falls, the college and the big 1977 flood that went through the college property.
It is about 20 miles south to Talullah Gorge and 10 miles south east of Clarkesville,Ga.

Anna Ruby Falls
Anna Ruby Falls is located near Unicoi State Park in White County near Helen, Georgia. The waterfall is accessible via a half mile trail from a public use area with a small admittance charge
Dick's Creek Falls
Beautiful Dicks Creek Falls is one of the highlights of both the Bartram Trail and the Chatooga River Trail. The trail allows access to the Chattooga Wild and Scenic River area from Sandy Ford Road. Combining scenic beauty, a waterfall, and a hike with gently flowing river just about makes our day, so Dick's Creek Falls is pretty much on the agenda when Rabun County is the destination.
Rock City Gardens
Its a very easy trail, with great views and spots for lots of photo-ops. The waterfall might be the best feature, but there are some wonderful rock formations, the swinging bridge, and several natural and "man-modified" arches that look out on the valley. All in all, a good time to spend 2-4 hours.
Glen Falls
While Glen Falls may be a typical high mountain falls (which means the amount of water in the falls is determined by the amount of recent rain), this is anything but a typical hike. The pathway allows hikers to take an up-close look at the unusual geology of Lookout Mountain and enjoy a waterfall to boot. From the trailhead, which is actually a pulloff on the usually busy Ochs Highway, the trail begins as a slightly downhill affair that is wide enough for a family hike.
Helton Creek Falls
This is a short hiking trail that leads down to two large waterfalls and a swimming hole. The trail is at times steep but short. There are stairs in a few places.
Sweetwater Blue
This easy trail follows inland valleys, combining historic roads and woodland paths to the Manchester Mill, where it briefly joins the Sweetwater Red (Historic) Trail. Once south of the mill, the Blue trail again follows an inland route to Sweetwater Falls. At the end of the trail it descends a series of wooden steps to an overlook of Sweetwater Creek.
Falls Branch Falls
The Benton MacKaye Trail rises from Stanley Creek Road to these beautiful falls with a viewing deck just a few feet from the trail. This relatively short hike to this tall, normally full falls offer a wide trail and easy-to-moderate leg-stretch, good preparation for a hike up Rocky Mountain or one of the other nearby trails.
Minnehaha Falls
One of the most photographed, the Minnehaha Trail (.4 mile in length) follows Fall Branch until it dead ends at Minnehaha Falls. This waterfall tumbles approximately 100 feet falling and shoaling.
Directions: Take US 23/441 north from Tallulah Falls for three miles to the Rabun Beach Recreation Area sign. Turn left onto Old 441. Go 2.5 miles and take a left on Lake Rabun Road. Go one mile past Recreation Area. Take a left on Low Gap Road at Flat Creek Community sign. Follow Bear Gap road which forks to the left. Go 1.5 miles to the sign marking the trail on the right side of the road. It’s about a five minute walk from the parking area on Bear Gap Road
Long Creek Falls
Long Creek Falls Trail is a 2.2 mile trail located near Blue Ridge, Georgia that features a waterfall and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is accessible year-round.
