North Georgia Waterfall Hikes

Hiking to the cool waterfalls is one of our favorite activities during the summer. Our three favorite waterfalls are the Amicalola Falls, Dukes Creek, and the Tallulah Gorge.

Amicaloa Falls
Located in Dawson County Georgia, the Amicaloa Falls has three different trails that you can take, all of which gives you a great view of the falls. The Amicalola Falls East Ridge Trail is a steady, strenuous climb to the top of Amicalola Falls. The Amicalola Falls Trail is a steep, staired descent along the face of the waterfall to the reflecting pond, with a return to the visitors center along the Base of Falls Trail. On the Amicalola Falls West Ridge you can explore the western ridge of Amicalola Falls, then join the Falls Trail at the lower bridge.

Dukes Creek
Located in White County Georgia, Dukes Creek Falls Trail is a series of three switchbacks that lead down to falls on Davis Creek at its confluence with Dukes Creek. There are water cascades on Dukes Creek. Also Dukes Creek is a favorite for catch-and-release fishing. There are over five miles of trails and 18 miles of roads that allow hikers and bicyclists to explore hardwoods, streams and wildlife.

Tallulah Gorge
Located in Rabun and Habersham counties, Tallulah Gorge is one of the most spectacular canyons in the southeast. Tallulah Gorge is two miles long and nearly 1,000 feet deep. You can hike rim trails to several overlooks, or obtain a free permit (limited to 100 per day) to hike down to the gorge floor. Kayaking and in-gorge hiking are allowed. A suspension bridge sways 80 feet above the rocky bottom, providing spectacular views of the river and waterfalls.
