    The Amicalola Falls are Georgia's tallest falls coming from Amicalola Mountain. Amicalola is a Cherokee word for tumbling water and you can certainly see why. The state park where the falls are located, is one of the most popular in Georgia.

    If you take the 8.5-mile approach trail you get to Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the famous 2,135-mile Appalachian Trail.
      The waterfalls are really something special. The flowing water over the various rock cascades is particularly impressive from below. But the view from above (Top of the Falls) is also recommended. If you want to give your legs a bit of a workout, you can climb a total of 600 steps (first 175 and then another 425) from the foot of the falls to the top.

        Amicola falls is the tallest waterfall in Georgia! Breathtaking!
        If you're there, try to snag a night's accommodation at the Hike Inn! It is in the middle of the forest and can only be reached by a 3-hour hike! Very idyllic.
