The truth is, Georgia doesn’t have too many strikingly blue waterfalls within the state. Not like ones that you would find, say, in the jungles of Costa Rica. However, that doesn’t mean that when you visit a waterfall in the Peach State, you won’t be mesmerized by the clear water cascading down. Georgia has quite a few strikingly beautiful waterfalls, especially those with swimming holes right at the bottom. Ready to cool off underneath a tumbling waterfall? Check out Helton Creek Falls in Georgia.

If you happen to be in or around Vogel Creek State Park, we recommend a stop along at Helton Creek Falls in Blairsville.

What makes Helton Creek Falls so appealing starts with the fact that it’s a quick hike to get to the falls—about 0.3 miles out and back.

But beyond the simplicity of the hike, the falls also offer hikers a chance to swim at the very bottom!

Wear your bathing suit and your water shoes, because after a nice hike it’ll be hard to resist jumping into the water.

You can enjoy the smaller falls along the creek, or get to the deeper pool right in front of the upper falls.
