What to do and see in Georgia, Georgia: The Best Waterfalls
While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

Love coming here and this time we were very positively surprised that Anna Ruby Falls and the gift shop were open on New Years Day! Loved the hike and the falls were quite full with water and very impressive. The trails are well maintained, the gift shop well stocked and the Trail for the visually impaired is a great stroll along the river.

***Do not use GPS for the last bit-it’s wrong plus you won’t have service*** ***Turn at the road directly across the street from Coopers Creek Store (GPS yourself to the store). Drive exactly 2.9 miles then turn left onto the unmarked service road. Drive for a minute or 2 until you dead end, then park on the side of the road and walk the trail. *** We took our 4 and 8 year old children. Perfect 10 min walk (can’t really call it a hike) leads you to a secluded lagoon type falls area. You feel like you’ve found something special when you arrive. We were the only people there for the first hour. We brought a picnic and sat on a big rock to eat. The kids wore bathing suits and crocs to walk around in the water and rocks (6 inches deep). I highly recommend wearing waterproof shoes as it’s a muddy walk in places.

My Brother and I love to hike and chase waterfalls in the North Georgia Mountains. We recently took a day trip and visited Blue Hole Falls. Located on High Shoals Creek in the High Shoals Scenic Area of the Chattahoochee National Forest, the trailhead is accessed via Indian Grave Gap Road (Forest Service Road 283), a gravel road located about 11.5 miles north of Helen, Ga. on Highway 17. Be aware that the service road (it is very rough) does ford a shallow creek about 100 yards from the entrance. Under normal conditions it does not require a four-wheel drive vehicle to cross. Continue a couple of miles and you will find the trailhead. There was no sign so you must look for a very small pull off area on your left (Enough room for maybe five cars). To reach Blue Hole Falls requires a one mile hike downhill via the High Shoals Trail. Be aware that is a rough uneven natural trail. You will pass a few primitive campsites along the way. When you arrive at the falls there is a small observation deck that overlooks the falls. The creek plummets 20 plus feet over the face of a sheer rock outcrop. People do swim at the base of the falls where the deep blue water is more than ten feet deep. Keep in mind the water temperature is always cold (in the 40’s even during summer months). While here we relaxed, ate a nutrition bar, enjoyed the falls and the beauty and solitude of nature and then continued another 1.3 miles to High Shoals Falls. The hike back is a steady uphill climb gaining over 500 feet in elevation. This is a moderate hike. Wear hiking boots, carry a snack and water. No restroom facilities. FYI...The bridge on this trail at the half mile mark remains out due to flooding (July 2018). When the water in the creek is high it may be difficult to cross. We did not have a problem. Dog friendly (must be on a leash).

Very close to the main routes to the Smokeys (7 miles from the main drag). Check hours on web page. $2 fee (dog was free--and welcomed!). Walk to the falls is a short, wide gravel trail, not to steep. Places to rest are aviable to set and take in the rushing stream. Falls is breathtaking!!! Memorial stone is a sobering reminder of the 1977 dam break that almost washed the university away, injuring 60 and killing 39, many of them children. Purchase "Dam Break in Georgia" from the gift shop to read the sobering account of the accident and the uplifting stories of survivial. Will stop there again.

The drive in was the hardest part! The trailhead is 5+ miles down a narrow gravel road with many hazards. Once we got to the trail it was an easy and scenic hike ending with a beautiful waterfall where the kids played in the creek. It’s 2 miles out and back and was no problem for us and our five and seven year olds. There’s a little incline on the way in but nothing strenuous.
