About Amicalola Falls Trail
The Amicalola Falls Trail is one of North Georgia's most popular hiking destinations, featuring the tallest waterfall in the state at 729 feet. This moderately difficult trail offers breathtaking views of the cascading water and surrounding Chattahoochee National Forest. The trail includes both paved sections and natural terrain with stairs alongside the falls. Hikers can enjoy multiple viewing platforms to appreciate the waterfall from different angles. The trail is well-maintained and suitable for families, though some sections require good physical condition due to elevation gain.
