It’s easy to see why this is one of Georgia’s most popular state parks.
Amicalola, a Cherokee Indian word meaning “tumbling waters,” is an
appropriate name for these 729-foot falls ~~ the tallest cascading
waterfall east of the Mississippi River. An 8.5 mile approach trail
leads from the park to Springer Mountain, the southern end of the
2,135-mile Appalachian Trail. However, numerous other trails are
available for shorter journeys. A beautiful lodge at the top of the
mountain is popular with guests who prefer hotel-type comforts, while a
5-mile hike leads to more remote accommodations at the Len Foote Hike
Inn. Be sure to stop by the visitor center to see nature displays, live
exhibits and a gift shop.Park Hours: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
