Fall Activities In Georgia
Which hiking trails in Georgia are best in the fall?
Some of my favorite fall hikes in Georgia are:
- The trail to Anna Ruby Falls at Unicoi State Park, Helen
This short and sweet hike is paved and less than a mile long, so the whole family can enjoy it. Seeing the waterfalls surrounded by brilliant fall foliage is sure to become a core memory you'll cherish for years to come.
- Moccasin Creek Park, Clarkesville
Georgia's smallest state park really packs a punch when it comes to fall foliage. At just 32 acres, almost every square inch of this quaint and cozy haven is full of changing leaves.
- Tallulah Gorge State Park, Tallulah Falls
While this incredible state park is worth visiting year-round, we're partial to it during autumn. The nearly 1,000-foot-deep gorge is surrounded by fall colors, and there's even an 80-foot suspension bridge that offers unparalleled views.
