In order to reach the trailhead, it is worth knowing that there is a 5+ mile gravel/dirt road which you must tackle first. It’s worth it, but make sure to prepare accordingly. To get to the trail, hikers are encouraged to head to the Three Forks parking area in Fannin County, Blue Ridge, Georgia. From there, to the east, you’ll find the trail to Long Creek Falls.
