Such a great park . There is a giant waterfall that you can go on top with climbing 750 steps. It also has access to large hiking trails . 9/10

Beautiful Place! We only went to the base of THE FALLS, but it was still georgeous!! Good Hike , lots of fun! 1 bummer.... PEOPLE don't leave your trash along the trails or in the water!!

Denise Ruiz

So Beautiful. Great way to spend your day. We hiked up one side and came down the stairs to the falls . Much easier less crowded

Go up the stairs first ???? and of course bring good shoes , water, and protein bars .

Paula Madeira

It is very pretty the waterfall and the trail . It takes about 1h, 1h and a half to go up and around.

Robert Auchenpaugh

At the top of the falls go up the road toward the cabins . Take the right fork and keep going past the cabins onto the dirt road . Follow that to the old church . It's a neat place and work the drive. :)

Jaimie Alliel

A must see if you are vacationing in North GA. Definitely go to the top!

Pack a yummy lunch (tofurky sandwiches , pickled garlic , lemonade , and pretzels are a good start) and have lunch on one of the 78 park benches !

Take the trail up the mountain that starts behind the visitor's center...then come down the steps...great workout!

Andreea Vilcan-Voaides

Great place for hiking ! Get your comfortable shoes ready and go with the water and your protein bar !

There's an alternative to walking up the stairs to see the waterfall . Talk to the guides there about the trail that goes up to the fall . Great hike !

Jenna Ray

You can hike the stairs up to the falls , or drive up and hike .3 miles.

The Appalachian Trail starts here. If you're feeling less adventurous or have small kids, the campground is an excellent option.
