ピケンズ郡周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Beautiful overnight accommodation in the heart of nature. There are 20 bedrooms with bunk beds and a mattress for children. Dinner and breakfast are eaten together. On a guided tour of the house, you'll learn about the building's history, the Japanese-inspired architecture, the environmental awards (e.g., about the composting system with worms), the connection to Len Foote, and the observation deck with astronomical art. After dinner, you can enjoy the game room or attend a lecture. The warm showers are very pleasant after the strenuous climb. It's a shame there are no facilities for day visitors. Lunch packs are available for overnight guests. https://hike-inn.com/ The moderate, five-mile trail starting from the top of Amicalola Falls is among the most popular mountain trails in the North Georgia Blue Ridge. And one of its most beautiful and diverse. The two-to-four hour hike crosses small streams, traverses scenic ridges and ambles through stands of mountain laurel and rhododendron. Backpacker magazine included our trail as one of 36 “Best American Hikes” and our Inn is included on National Geographic Traveler’s “Stay List.”

Only accessible by hike! Information at https://hike-inn.com/

In the visitor center you can get information and souvenirs as well as park tickets for the state park. A must is the walk behind the building; here you will find the starting arch for the Appalachian Trail, the southern end of which, Springer Mountain, can be reached from here via a 13-kilometer-long access path (A.T. Approach Trail). https://www.amicalolafallslodge.com/

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.

Fall Creek Falls is a gorgeous cascading waterfall located inside Dawson Forest. The water trickles (or tumbles, depending on the season) down slates of rock into a pool of water below. It's a nice place to cool off your feet after a hike or sit and enjoy a picnic. There are a number of impressive waterfalls along Fall Creek Trail, so see if you can find them all.

Nice place to stay overnight in the middle of the forest! You have to hike there - it's just under 5 miles from the parking lot (uphill, downhill and over streams)!

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.

Fishing here includes the chance to land both brown and rainbow trout. For information on regulations and licenses, see the Georgia Wildlife Division website: https://gastateparks.org/AmicalolaFalls.
