We call North Georgia home, it's our home base and our literal playground. We're bless that God has created this land with so much beauty. The "land of a thousand waterfalls" is what the Cherokee called this land in North Georgia and we definitely known why. It's one of the best kept secrets here in the south, and in our opinion, they beauty of the waterfalls even rivals the Pacific Northwest coast. Here's some of the coolest waterfalls you should visit in your lifetime if you're in the area. 

Amicalola Falls

About 21 miles from Ellijay on Hwy 52 is a spectacular 729-foot falls, the tallest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Also, a strenuous 8.5-mile approach trail leads from the park to Springer Mountain, the start of the famous Appalachian Trail.

Helton Creek Falls 

There are two falls on Helton Creek near Blairsville. A short trail descends to the first waterfall then climbs to the second larger waterfall. Beware – the rocks are slippery.

From Blue Ridge, take Hwy 515 north to Blairsville. In Blairsville, take US 19/129 south about 11 miles. Turn left onto Helton Creek Road, the first road past the entrance to Vogel State Park. Go 2.2 miles; the road turns to gravel. There will be a small parking lot on the right in a curve, and the trail is marked.

Keown Falls

It is beautiful place to hike. But waterfall was dried. There is super mounter view and amaizing nature. It is 40 minuts one way from parking. There is a cave.

DeSoto Falls

The DeSoto Falls of Georgia are located in Lumpkin County, Georgia along Frogtown Creek. There are actually three waterfalls on Frogtown Creek, called Upper DeSoto Falls, Middle Desoto Falls and Lower DeSoto Falls

Anna Ruby Falls

Beautiful! Definitely a must see during your visit to Helen or surrounding areas. If you are new to this fall make sure you wear good shoes, and pace yourself. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Lula Falls

This place is pretty amazing and the falls are beautiful! They have plenty of hiking trails, friendly staff, and the place is pretty well kept. The only downside is the parking, and the fact that even if you're at Cloudland Canyon state park next door, and have someone drop you off, or park outside the gate (which they try and deter), they don't want you to enter. The other downside is they're only opened the first and last Saturday of each month. It is a land trust and it's good for the environment to limit visits in the name of preservation though I guess.
