Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
One of two of Georgia’s most beautiful waterfalls, High Shoals Falls is set in a lush, green forest near Helen. High Shoals Falls and Blue Hole Falls can both be explored on a single 2.5-mile round-trip hiking trail that travels through a verdant, mossy creek valley. The trail also passes some prime backpacking campsites before reaching Blue Hole Falls, which drops into a deep, turquoise swimming hole below, followed by High Shoals Falls, which also cascades into a beautiful pool. Surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest, High Shoals Falls is slightly further along the trail than Blue Hole Falls but is worth the walk as it is a much more significant waterfall cascading down large rocks and offers excellent swimming in cold mountain waters on hot summer days.
