Helton Creek Falls Trail

Helton Creek Falls Trail is a short but spectacular 0.1-mile path in Union County, Georgia, leading to two impressive waterfalls with minimal effort. The first falls drops approximately 30 feet over a rock face, easily visible from the main viewing area. A short continuation down the trail reveals the second falls, a stunning twin cascade where two streams plunge over 50 feet side by side. Despite its brevity, this trail delivers remarkable scenic value, making it perfect for families, photographers, or anyone seeking beautiful waterfalls without a strenuous hike. The falls are most impressive after rainfall when water volume peaks. The surrounding forest of hemlocks and rhododendrons adds to the scenic beauty. This trail’s ease of access and dramatic payoff make it one of the most popular waterfall destinations in the North Georgia mountains.
