View the middle of the falls from this short hike, which is mostly flat and totally paved with old crushed up tires! Comfy! Beautiful views.

There are several diverse tails in Amicalola Falls State Park, but "Base of the Falls Trail" is our favorite. It starts at the visitor center just inside the park and meanders alongside the level roadway to a reflecting pool at the base of the falls, then turns into a steep climb of paved switchbacks and stairs to a magnificent view point midway up the falls. To hike this trail, we usually drive past the visitor center and park at the lot by the reflecting pool. On our visit this week, we saw several visitors fishing for trout in the reflecting pool, which is allowed with a fishing license in season. The hike up the trail was particularly rewarding this week because we got to see a lot of native wildflowers in bloom, including hillsides of different trillium, phlox, and more. The falls themselves were rushing with lots of spring rain runoff. One of the nice things about this trail is that there are lots of view points with space to move off the trail and just enjoy the view. You can choose to hike only as far as you want, so you shouldn't avoid the trail because you think you can't make it all the way up. Any part of the trail you do will be worth your while.

The DriveStrong Teen driving program is the best of its kind in Atlanta. Through the generosity of AMP members, teens get to experience emergency situations in a safe controlled environment. The low friction skid pad is as much fun as it is educational for drivers at all levels.
