When you get here there is no signage at all. You just drive and look for it. There is really no parking except for parking on the side of the creek. There are areas for people to camp but they are not defined. We drove as high as we could and someone else driving down. They told us to follow them to one of the falls, but there was not much of a fall bc of the lack of rain. We had also parked at the spot they pointed to us for a break from the uphill steep drive. We went down more and parked by the creek and went down to see the water. When we got there, we looked up and saw the fall, but it was a bit of a distance for us to drive back to, plus we would have to walk over rocks to get to it. I didn't get to take a pic but it was pretty. We did like this trip, but I think I wished I could have seen more. The day before we went to the Edge of the World in Dahlonega and enjoyed that more.

It was truly exhilarating and also my wasp sting, sustained earlier in the morning, felt soothed in the water. Our little one was having a ball, as I raced her to closest buoy. Parking can be paid online $5/pp, or in an envelope deposited at the gate. The beach is more rock than sand so bring water shoes.

Austin showed a great amount of patience and shared his fly fish knowledge concerning both casting, taking notice of what the trout were feeding and what to look for in fishing runs,etc. I would not hesitate to book a future trip with him the next time I'm in this area. Caught several brownies and learned a ton during our time on the water. Thank You Austin for sharing your time and knowledge!

Along the way, he shared the history of the Toccoa, great stories and commentary about fishing and his writing experiences, which added another enjoyable layer to the day and punctuated the fishing beautifully. I brought along a friend who is very particular, and by the end of the trip he was already talking about organizing another outing for a friend of his who has mobility issues--which says a lot. I loved the day, and Joe was truly the icing on the cake.

The hike up Amicalola Falls is a 1 to 2-mile round trip depending on your exact route, requiring 1 to 1.5 hours. The trail is famous for its steep incline and roughly 425 to 600 metal and wooden stairs that climb alongside the 729-foot waterfall which was absolutely beautiful! I met some really cool people along the hike and even a new friend & we ended going for lunch and beer after our hike at the overlook. If you've never visited Amicalola falls, start planning now. Your soul will be at such peace and joy afterward !

Main scenic trail up starts with a walking path with an incline. You'll have a total of about 650 steps throughout your hike with plenty to landing spots with seats to rest. Every turn is a beautiful scene. Love the sounds of the relaxing water fall with every step! There's also hiking trails you can take and if hiking is not your thing, you can also drive to the top and enjoy the view without breaking a sweat. There are nice pavilions as well if you want to host a party and cabins too if you wanna spend the evening. Beautiful water fall and lovely state park with many trails for you to enjoy the amazing outdoors!
