High Falls State Park in Georgia

Jackson, Georgia

Description

With a beautiful view of a dam and a hike down the side of the falls - this spot in Georgia is worth a visit!

High Falls State Park in Georgia is a cool state park that you have to see! Park at the High Falls parking area ($5 fee) and take in the views. There is a beautiful dam at the top with a picturesque lake to picnic beside plus a playground for the little ones. You will cross the road to the trail and hike down beside the falls. There is also a nature trail. It is beautiful!! Be careful to stay off the falls though as you will be fined a hefty fee for climbing on to the rocks and in the water due to the dangers of the falls.

Parking areas are on the opposite side of the road where the trailhead is located and the fee is $5.

Parking is free and there are two trails to choose from that will lead you to the same place. Once you head down the trail, you may star...
