To recover from the festivities, the savviest make their way to Cedar Creek Luxury Cabins on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest.

Love coming here and this time we were very positively surprised that Anna Ruby Falls and the gift shop were open on New Years Day! Loved the hike and the falls were quite full with water and very impressive. The trails are well maintained, the gift shop well stocked and the Trail for the visually impaired is a great stroll along the river.

Clean course. Challenging yet fun. Have choice of 2 different 18 hole courses to choose from. Run by a local owner who was very friendly and did everything possible to make sure we were satisfied with this experience. We played miniature golf at another franchise owned golf course in Helen the previous night. The Bavarian Mountain Golf course was so much cleaner and better maintained than the franchise owned place. And it was cheaper than the franchise. Staff was more accommodating here also. We will definitely return to Bavarian Mountain Miniature Golf Course on our next visit there. One tip: Do take advantage of the free mosquito spray which is provided at the desk for you prior to playing golf. Mosquitos are abundant at both golf courses, but at least this one does provide free mosquito spray

9. Dukes Creek Falls Trail

My brother and I recently took a day trip and visited Dukes Creek Falls. Located just off Richard Russell scenic highway less than 6 miles north of Helen, Ga. the Dukes Creek Trail is a moderate 2 mile hike out and back through a beautiful, mountain stream-filled forest. The first segment of the trail is paved and accessible, and allows all hikers to catch a glimpse of the falls from the trail’s upper viewing deck. As you descend the trail is not paved but is well maintained. If you have mobility issues be aware that there are some stairsteps on this section of the trail. As you proceed the trail moves alongside a stream where you will pass several large, cascading waterfalls that provide multiple photo opportunities. When you reach the falls, there are several large wooden viewing platforms that offer stunning views of the dramatic, multi-tiered, 150-foot-tall drop of Dukes Creek Falls. The day we visited we saw lots of families with kids and dogs. Be aware the parking area is very small so get there early. There is a $4.00 per car charge for a day use pass.
