Visit Dawson County in the North Georgia Mountains

Amicalola is a Cherokee Indian word meaning "tumbling waters," an appropriate name for these 729-foot falls - the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River in the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains. At Amicalola Falls State Park you'll find an eight-mile trail leading to Springer Mountain, the southern end of the 2,150-mile Appalachian Trail. There are numerous other trails available for shorter journeys.
