Chattahoochee National Forest

A national forest offering a wealth of outdoor activities.

Reviewed By Q8105RDdan - Panama City Beach, United States

The Chattahoochee National Forest covers 18 North Georgia counties and includes over 2,200 miles of rivers and streams. There are over 450 miles of hiking trails that range from easy to extremely strenuous so choose the one best suited for you. The beginning of the 2,174-mile Appalachian Trail is located here. There are also numerous waterfalls you can hike to and enjoy. My brother & I recently visited. We hiked Desota Falls, Panther Creek, Raven Falls, & Brasstown Bald. We had a great time and can’t wait to return. Just driving through this beautiful area will provide you with some of the most spectacular views in the country. Highly recommend!

Shortline Trail (Tallulah Falls Rail-Trail)

Reviewed By thebigwanderingclan - Winder, United States

My entire family wanted to visit this trail so my kids were able to bring their bikes, I used my stroller, and my husband brought the dog. The suspension bridge is beautiful and very sturdy. The water is crystal clear and would be so much fun in summer. This is a great trail for aid afternoon stroll that doesn't take long at all. We will certainly visit again.

Sliding Rock Cascade on Wildcat Creek

Reviewed By Livelifeoutloud - Charleston, United States

We loved this place but make sure to go in the AM or early evening to avoid the people if you are socially distancing. We had such a great time. Be prepared to hike about .5 mile to the slide rock...up hill. Worth it!

Tallulah Gorge State Park

Reviewed By H6469BWlindaj - Gainesville, United States

Wow! What a great State Park! Admission was only $5 per vehicle with multiple hiking trail options for people of all fitness levels as well as other amenities. Loved hiking down to the Hurricane Falls overlook and hiking the north and south rim trails and crossing the very cool suspension bridge. Most hikes involve lots of climbing and descending hundreds of stairs, but the entire stair system is very well constructed with multiple resting spots/benches, shaded pavilions, and free water bottle refill stations. Overlooks are gorgeous and trails are well-maintained. The views of the gorge and rapids/falls were all stunning. It can be very hot during mid-day during the summer but it is well worth a visit.
