Amicalola Falls State Park

Somewhat challenging to reach the falls via the paved path and stairs but there's plenty of spots along the way to rest, going back down much easier of course. You can get quite close to the falls, which cascade for several hundred feet. View from the top is impressive as well. Super nice visitor center, historical displays and souvenirs. Very nice and clean park, $5 parking fee.

Wonderful stunning park! We took an orange trail up to the top which a bit strenuous but not too bad at all. My dog loved it until we got to the metal grated stairs. He was a brave boy and made his way down to the base of the falls which was absolutely gorgeous!

I had a wonderful time at Amicalola Falls State Park! The park is incredibly clean and well-maintained, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The staff and fellow visitors were all friendly, creating such a welcoming atmosphere. There are plenty of bathrooms throughout the park, which is always a huge plus. The hike was beautiful and very pleasant — the views of the falls are breathtaking, and the trail is well-marked and manageable. My dog loved it too! There’s plenty of space for pets to enjoy the outdoors, and he had a blast exploring. It’s a perfect spot for anyone looking to connect with nature, get some fresh air, and enjoy a lovely hike. Highly recommend this park to anyone!

Impressive view as you embark up the 429 flights of stairs. There are plenty of beautiful spots to enjoy and take pictures if you do not wish to go all the way up. It’s good to know you can drive to the top as well. We were SO grateful to have a charging station there, but a little frustrated when both cars taking up the spots were not EV’s. It would be nice if the Welcome center pays more attention to this because it was EXTREMELY difficult to find EV CHARGING stations for our car. Good clean restrooms. You’ll definitely get good exercise!

Beautiful day for a hike!! We went on a Friday around 1 pm. Very well maintained. The Visitor’s Center appears to be very new and staff is very knowledgeable about the trails, falls and other aspects about the park. Restrooms were clean and well-maintained. There are a number of conveniently located picnic areas. The hike along the falls is beautiful, with lookout points at good spots for those who need to take a breath or do a photo op. There are a combination of wooden and metal stairs. Parts of the trail are more level than others, and it gets steeper as you go up.There are parts of the trail that are paved. We love this state park!! Keep our parks beautiful! 😊🌲

Absolutely stunning place. The waterfall is even more amazing in person and the height is astounding. No shortage of photo opportunities. My family has wonderful memories of playing in the creek down below the waterfall near the picnic area. Lots of grills and picnic tables. Plan to stay all day. The parking lot in the middle of the mountain is perfect for families with young kids who don't want to hike up the whole way. Not a huge parking lot but we always managed to find a spot. The view from the very top also can't be missed. This is one of the most popular spots in GA for a reason. Go if you have the chance.

You can walk or drive to see this beautiful waterfall. We walked it and took breaks on the stairs. There are 604 stairs. We went in February on a nice weather day and the crowds were low. People with bigger dogs had no problem others with smaller dogs ended up carrying them.

Absolutely beautiful waterfall and views! Great hike from the visitors center. Would recommend driving to the top if you can’t do stairs because there are a ton of them!
