Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest
The primary attractions to this area are the two waterfalls along Frogtown Creek, which lead from the wooden bridge across from the Host Site. This hike's relatively short, kid-friendly distance and moderate elevation change make it one of North Georgia's most popular waterfall hikes. .25 hike to lower falls and .75 to the upper falls. The trail hikes through several exposed rock outcrops, beautiful rhododendron, and under the shade of several enormous old-growth pine trees with their wide trunks reaching high into the forest canopy above. The waterfall's newly built observation deck makes a great spot for a mid-hike rest or picnic, and a great place to soak up the waterfall's beauty.
NOTE: Slippery rocks and fast-moving water can be extremely dangerous! Please don't climb, stand on, swim near, or jump from any waterfall.
