A multitude of streams crossing the mountains of north Georgia provide visitors to the Chattahoochee National Forest with many opportunities to view waterfalls in a variety of settings. Whether you want to experience the water crashing down the 120-foot face of Holcomb Falls, sit in the shade listening to the cascading water of Minnehaha Falls or relax near the pool at the base of Hemlock Falls, a visit to any of the falls is a great way to spend an afternoon or an entire day. The map below shows the locations of various waterfalls in the area. You can get more information on each of the falls by clicking on the icon or on the name in the list.
Tips for Viewing Waterfalls The best time to view waterfalls is after it has rained since water levels will be at their peak. Safety should be considered at all times. Stay on the trail or overlook when viewing the falls. Do not try to climb the falls. A slip on the rocks could cause serious injury and be fatal. Be alert at stream crossings. High water can make them dangerous. Stay on designated trails. The trails to the waterfalls are for hiking only. Pets are allowed along the trail but should be kept on a leash and should have a collar or identification tag in case they get lost or separated. Watch your step. Water and algae can make rocks very slippery. |
