Helen Area Waterfalls
EVERYBODY, it seems, wants to see a waterfall. Some want a lot of exercise on a long walk in to a remote, seldom-visited cascade; some want to practically see the falls from their vehicle; most want something in between. We have covered the most obvious waterfalls in the Helen area, but the late summer drought reduced the flow a lot and we had to stop seeking waterfalls to feature on this site for the time being. Still, what we have already covered so far are the main ones, all not far from Helen (except Amicalola, which is about a 45-minute drive—but it’s the highest falls in the Southeast, it’s in a county where many of my ancestors are buried, and we couldn’t resist including it as a possible day trip, perhaps for a picnic, while you’re staying in Helen). We’ll get back to covering the rest of the local falls in the winter and spring; for now there should be plenty, and adequate variety, for almost anybody wanting to visit one of these wonders of nature. Enjoy!
