Chattahoochee National Forest

A national forest offering a wealth of outdoor activities.

Reviewed By Q8105RDdan - Panama City Beach, United States

The Chattahoochee National Forest covers 18 North Georgia counties and includes over 2,200 miles of rivers and streams. There are over 450 miles of hiking trails that range from easy to extremely strenuous so choose the one best suited for you. The beginning of the 2,174-mile Appalachian Trail is located here. There are also numerous waterfalls you can hike to and enjoy. My brother & I recently visited. We hiked Desota Falls, Panther Creek, Raven Falls, & Brasstown Bald. We had a great time and can’t wait to return. Just driving through this beautiful area will provide you with some of the most spectacular views in the country. Highly recommend!

Sliding Rock Cascade on Wildcat Creek

Reviewed By Livelifeoutloud - Charleston, United States

We loved this place but make sure to go in the AM or early evening to avoid the people if you are socially distancing. We had such a great time. Be prepared to hike about .5 mile to the slide rock...up hill. Worth it!

Warwoman Dell Recreation Area

Reviewed By jmpncsu - Raleigh, United States

We took our dog for a hike at Warwoman Dell to chase waterfalls. Its a really beautiful area. A short nature trail leads into the canyon and to the small but scenic Warwoman Dell Falls. Following Bartram Trail northbound, Becky Branch Falls is just a short ways across the main road. Bartram Trail leads about 2 miles to Martin Creek Falls and there is a Lower Martin Creek Falls a short ways downstream. Overall, a beautiful area and great place for a hike in nature.
