We took coweetah lab road, off of Georgia road, to the falls. What a drive, but, well worth it. It takes awhile to get there but dont give up. Short hike to the falls, maybe a tenth of a mile total. You can see the upper and lower falls, the trail goes to both.

Feb 27, 2024 · Google ReviewBeautiful hiking down to the falls. Medium difficulty.
Jan 11, 2024 · Google ReviewLess than .5 miles round-trip. Trail splits off in 2 directions. Going right takes you to the lower falls, left to the upper. Short and sweet with a nice view.
