Amicalola Falls
Amicalola, the Cherokee word for "tumbling  waters," is the highest waterfall in Georgia. At 729 ft. Amicalola Falls it is considered the highest set of falls east of the Mississippi River. When coming from the west on Ga. 52 you first notice the falls from a two mile distance. Up close the 729 ft. drop is actually seven consecutive cascading falls, where as from a short distance the entire view of Amicalola Falls appears to be one continual fall.
Both the falls top and bottom can be reached by car. The upper falls has a parking lot and an observation deck running directly over the top of the falls. There's a parking lot at the bottom of the falls by a reflection pool and a paved trail that leads .3 mile. to the top of the falls.
Directions: From Ellijay take GA 52 east.
