There are quite a few places in Georgia that serve up some seriously blue water. Now, before your brain starts drumming up Bora Bora-type blue water, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Georgia doesn’t have tropical blue water. In fact, due to the abundance of red clay throughout the watering holes, waterfalls, and huge bodies of water, you really won’t find any turquoise blue water in Georgia any time soon. Unless you count this hidden gem: This Hidden Beach In Georgia Will Take You A Million Miles Away From It All. But Georgia does have some pretty fantastic spots that have a cool, rich blue color. One that perhaps you can’t find anywhere else in the state. Personally, I’ve seen quite a few waterfalls and watering holes in Georgia, but I think this particular spot takes the cake for the bluest water in the state. Here’s why:

There are over 3,485 acres to explore, spreading out in every direction near Trenton and Cooper Heights.

But there is one particular waterfall within the park that deserves a lot more recognition than it receives...
