Amicalola Falls State Park and Lodge | Dawsonville, Georgia
418 Amicalola Falls Rd.Javascript must be enabled to view this map.
Amicalola, a Cherokee Indian word meaning “tumbling waters,” is an apt name for these 729-foot falls, the highest in Georgia. An 8-mile approach trail leads from the park to Springer Mountain, the southern end of the 2,150-mile Appalachian Trail; however, numerous other trails are available for shorter journeys. A beautiful lodge is popular with guests who prefer hotel-type comforts over cottages and camping, while a 5-mile hike leads to more remote accommodations at the Len Foote Hike Inn. The park office has nature displays, live exhibits and a gift shop.
