Waterfall Hikes in Georgia (GA)

Most of Georgia's waterfalls arise in the northern Blue Ridge and Appalachian foothills, where steep slopes, narrow gorges and resistant metamorphic bedrock channel streams into cascades; the Piedmont yields smaller drops and the coastal plain is largely flat and waterfall-poor. Hikes are predominantly moderate day trails with a few short family-friendly paths and the occasional strenuous scramble, and the state is notable for compact, multi-step falls clustered along short creek corridors easily reached from nearby cities.
