While in the area around Helen, GA. we decided to explore the area and stumbled on to Anna Ruby Falls - the admission is now $5 per person and is collected prior to reaching the parking lot, gift shop and trail entrance. We did a quick tour of the gift shop and I of course purchased a refrigerator magnet for the RV and also made a donation to the park to further the children's educational programs. The head of the trail looks okay the incline looks manageable and the pavement is smooth and plenty wide enough to pass fellow hikers the sign says .4 miles to the falls so we headed out. The incline gradually increases as you pass the halfway point but l'd still consider it a moderate hike and there are several spots along the way with benches if you need a break, we didn't stop but we did notice a few people taking a rest. Once you reach the cross over bridge you're home free although the incline increases somewhat just remember once you reach the falls there will be plenty of time to take a break before heading back down which is much easier as you'd expect but it does present a slip hazard in some spots where the pavement is wet so l recommend wearing suitable footwear. The falls are absolutely gorgeous and today there was plenty of water coming over the top, the wooden deck provides a great vantage point to take photos and there are benches to sit and enjoy the view before heading back down. All in all it's worth the walk and you'll be glad you took the challenge and likely will have some memories that will last a lifetime....
Great national park. Walk to the falls was only 0.4 miles however it is a bit of a steep go. But they do have benches along the way so you van take breaks. FYI your cell phone will most likely not work in the park so be prepared for that. Gift shop has very reasonable prices compared to in town prices. So we loaded up here. Very helpful staff. Great place for a hike or picnic. Get here early when we left around 1pm the line of cars coming in.
Went here on a suggestion of the Helen visitor center. The drive was maybe 15 minutes outside of Helen. You pass through 2 feet stations, if you're going to the falls you only pay at the second which is ran by NPS. The fee is $5 per adult I believe. There's a gift shop near the parking lot. The hike is about .4 or .5 miles, mostly uphill, but for the most part easy. There are a few spots that's a steeper incline. Once you get there though the views are amazing, it's a great sight to see. Make sure you wear comfortable hiking shoes. The gift shop has bathrooms, and some souvenirs for everyone. The NPS staff is nice and friendly.
Visiting Helen, Georgia we ended up at Anna Ruby Falls. We had a fabulous time walking up to the falls, and even walking back. The walk path is completely paved and is very easy for even people who have mobility concerns. The view all along our walk was absolutely breathtaking, and even the weather cooperated with beautiful blue skies, although it was nice and shady among the trees and very comfortable weatherwise. The view at the top of Anna Ruby Falls was absolutely stunning, and we spent some quality time on the benches along the walk where you could rest and enjoy nature at its best! I truly recommend visiting Anna Ruby, Falls, just outside of Helen, Georgia on your next visit this way. OH... and don't forget your camera! Safe travels
Beautiful hike and stunning waterfall. We came on a rainy day so there weren't many people around. The waterfalls had a decent amount of flow but I'd love to see this in other seasons. There's a beautiful viewing platform at the bottom of the falls. The hike is a little steep in parts but it's well maintained and short. There's a shop at the bottom where the parking lot is with shirts & your typical merchandise you'd see at a park like this. Don't expect cell service as there is absolutely zero. Disconnect and enjoy!
If you are in this area you must come to Anna Ruby Falls. It's located less than 15 minutes from Helen and there is a charge of $5 per adult to enter. There is a nice visitor center with gift shop, restrooms and drink and snack machines. When you arrive you will notice no cell service so be prepared. The trail to the Falls is only .4 miles long and is paved. However it rises 225 feet in that distance and it's all uphill to the Falls. It requires a medium level of exertion so it isn't easy. I wouldn't want to do it in warm weather or after eating a big meal. Of course the walk down afterward is much more pleasant. The path is beautiful. You will be under plenty of shade between the hill tops on both sides and the very tall trees. Also the discharged water from the Falls form a stream right besides the path. Many nice photo opportunities are on the path. When you get to the top seeing the Falls make the climb worth it. At the Falls are two observation platforms to stand on and take pics. There are actually two Falls that combine into the stream below. The tallest one on the left is 150 feet above the observation platform. On the day of my visit on a weekday in November the crowd size was very manageable. I was told that on summer weekends they have many more people come and it gets crowded. Keep that in mind. Finally there are no facilities up at the Falls. No restrooms or drinkable water. I'm very glad I visited Anna Ruby Falls. It is a beautiful place.
This site is federally owned, but is embedded in the state park. I was able to get through the state park without paying for that, and a separate, per-person charge is issued at the gates for this area. Fortunately, a national parks pass gets you out of this fee. The parking area is small and fills easily, but there is a lot of turnover. A visitor center there has a deck overlooking a pool which supposedly has trout (not visible to me), and from there a moderate uphill paved walk leads to the falls. The viewing platforms don't really grant that great of a view of the falls; you're not that close. The downstream area is arguably more interesting. It's nice forest, but there's a lot of places in the Appalachian Mountains where you can find perfectly nice waterfalls that don't have quite the same degree of hassle or cost attached to them that this one does. So for me, it's a nice natural site, but I'd only go if I was already in this area. The whole walk was less than an hour.
This hike is beautiful and the waterfalls are amazing. It's not a long hike to the top, less than a half of a mile each way. It is paved the entire way but it is steep in certain spots. There are some benches along the way. There are a few viewing spots at the top for taking pictures and admiring the view. We took our dog and he did fine.
Very slow paced walk with beautiful views and sitting benches throughout the path to the top of the waterfall. There footbridges and nature all around. The path is very puppy friendly and a medium accessibly path. It was paved well and maintained however, there were some sticks scattered on some walkways which made it difficult to just continue at a mid pace. The hills were not horribly inclined except for a limited few and there was benches at every point nearby the large inclines to provide rest. The path was accessible and wide enough for a stroller or pedestrians with a dog and an accessible device or walker to pass in tandem with ease. The walk is absolutely worth the reward of the peace and tranquility of the end of the journey.
If you're in the area this is a great little walk. It was about two miles total - some of the hike was blocked off so we couldn't go to top of the hike close to the waterfalls. It costs $5 per person to enter, they take cash or credit card at the gift shop. The gift shop is a nice area and Brenda the clerk was so friendly. We talked about dogs and life for a bit. Such a sweet person. Along the hike you'll see beautiful streams and little waterfalls. There are also restrooms at the start of the trail. Dog friendly. We really enjoyed this. I'd say it was about 45 min only because we stopped a few times along the trails.
If you looking for a day trip to go to in GA, this place is for you. This place is located in Helena, GA. You drive passed the city of Helen, Georgia. It is about 20-25 minutes from Main Street. The hike in Anna Ruby Fall isn't long. The hiking trail is about 30 minutes, depending on how fast you walk and spend time around the area. It is very easy to walk up to Anna Ruby Fall. It is gorgeous. It's worth seeing if you are visiting. They also have a little gift shop by the entrance. I picked up waterproof stickers and a postcard. It was inexpensive.
5-stars for a low cost ($3 per person to enter) outdoor marvel, Anna Ruby Falls is right outside Helen, GA in Unicoi State Park. The double waterfalls are spectacular and - unlike most waterfalls - don't take long to arrive to from the start of the trail. The STEEP (ok...I'm out of shape, so most of you may experience this as a "slight incline") paved path is about half a mile along to get to the double waterfalls. There are benches (which I tested...several of...you're welcome) along the way and most of the trail is shaded by trees. You also hear running water for most of the trail, so using the bathroom before the trail (across from the gift shop) may be a good idea. The trail is also dog friendly and they have a water dish and "pet waste" (aka - "poo") bags at the start of the trail. I also liked that there is a trail (Lion's Eye Trail) for those who are visually impaired that has hand rails and Braille signage. I'll definitely want to explore this park further the next time I'm the area (and after I do the stair master regularly....or at least twice).
Gorgeous! Easy hike. Paved walkway with views up to the top. We took our puppy and 3 kids and a everyone enjoyed it
Be prepared for a 0.4-0.5 mile hike up to the falls. It was an amazing hike but this Florida girl is definitely not used to climbing hills. There was one point where it was steep but the view at the top made it all worth while. read more

Beautiful!! Beautiful!! Beautiful. We went to Helen for a small family vacation and Anna Ruby Falls was 5 minutes away from our airbnb and man taking that hike was one of fhe best decisions we took. The walk was worth it when you got to the top of the mountain. We only paid $3 per person in the car and it was worth the $3. You dont have to pay for parking. read more
Another beautiful trail in northeast, Georgia! It is a one mile loop that you will not regret! Upon arrival, there is a both where you will pay $3 per person in the car. Honestly, for the length of the trail I thought this was a bit steep. The park is well kept but if you have a large group, this could get expensive. They limit how many people can enter the park, so get here early to miss the lines! This trail is paved and therefore friendly for all adults and children. Most of it is wheelchair friendly, with the exception of stairs leading to the platforms at the end. If you are COVID conscious, I would avoid for now. The path is wide but there's too many people for comfort and most are not masked. (Just a heads up!) All in all it's a beautiful trail with great views of waterfalls. If it wasn't packed with people I would've loved to have sit under the waterfall and have a picnic! read more

Beautiful tourist spot with wonderful views of the forest around it as well as the waterfalls at the peak of the hike. The hike is relatively short and is paved through its entire length so it is more friendly than similar hikes. The entire hike to the falls is uphill, so this may serve as an issue to certain patrons. It cost $5 per person to get inside the gate and park, free if your a veteran. There is a visitor center with free bathrooms available. The gift shop is nice. Cellular service is very spotty once inside the premises so plan accordingly. Definitely a spot worth visiting while in Helen, GA. read more
Anna Ruby Falls were beautiful! I stopped in Helen during a road trip and really wanted to do something outdoorsy, or be with nature. Now, my nature is not to be one with nature, I'm a city guy, so I didn't want anything too crazy, and this was perfect. Anna Ruby Falls are just that, a really beautiful waterfall. You'll pay $3 to park and once you park you'll take the half of a mile walk up to the top of the park where the falls area. Some of the walk is a little steep so if you have knee issues or don't like incline walks, maybe this isn't for you. I found myself to huff and puff a little myself, honestly, but the views along the way are amazing. The water rushing down from the falls creates a small river of sorts you walk along. There are a few points that are perfect for that instagram photo, but there are plenty of signs that tell you stay on the path. Once you're at the top there are few overlook type of places for you to take photos of really just take in the views of the park and the water fall. It is absolutely stunning and for me, the best part about it was how calming the water made me feel. Definitely what I needed during a hectic trip. read more

In June Tony, Noel and I visited Anna Ruby Falls in Helen, GA, which is a quaint little Germany Fairy book Style village. The waterfalls was a nice little hike. The weather was lovely and we had a really nice hour of hiking and enjoying the beautiful scenery during our nature hike. I miss all of our travels! read more

Great trail to do with the family and pets. The waterfalls were beautiful. I recommend taking the family here. read more
Gorgeous waterfall at the end of this extremely well cared for trail. We arrived early and were the first to be at the gate, the park rangers opened the gate right on time, so be sure to check when it opens. The fee is 5.00 per person and bring exact change, we only had a twenty and ended up donating the other 10.00 due to no change available. The parking lot isn't very big, it's located directly at the trailhead but if you get there early then parking will not be a problem. The trail is paved, clean, has trash cans available, please use them and has a good incline but we wouldn't consider it strenuous at all. The restrooms are located at the trailhead and are very clean, several picnic tables and benches are nearby. There is also a gift shop but we didn't go inside on this trip. We definitely recommend a visit here when in the area, it's absolutely beautiful from the beginning to the end. Enjoy! read more
$5 per person, we arrived around 2 on a Thursday. They have a big parking lot with a relaxing picnic area (many picnic tables) just over a bridge to the right of where you park. We met a few families on our way up and a few at the top and then a few more on the way down, it wasn't crowded. It takes about 15-20 minutes up and then the same back down. There is a really steep incline in one area, but it's all paved and manageable for old and young alike. Dogs are allowed on leashes and loved by the other visitors. They have a water bowl and waste station at the beginning of the trail with a few trashcans on the trail. They have tons of benches along the way as well as posted information about the types of trees and history of the area. In total we spent about an hour here and loved it! read more

Ana Ruby Falls The park has started charging $5 per person for entrance to the park. Just a few years ago it was a flat fee per car. Since it is October the park is really busy therefore the park is bringing in decent money. One would think for the money being brought in, that someone would check the bathrooms with some regularity, however from the picture of the bathroom floor, obviously checking the bathrooms is not a task they do often. Also, the only bathroom sink in the ladies' room was clogged and not draining. There are no paper towels but a large blower where the wall just under it is nasty and gross, lots of dirt on the wall. There is a little construction on about a 100 feet of the road just after entering the park. Today is a Saturday and they are working on the road and have only one lane open. We sat for almost 15 minutes before the construction worker motioned us thru. This is work they could do on a weekday when the traffic is less congested. The observation deck overlooking the trout in the stream was closed without any reason. The walk to the falls is beautiful. Overall, the natural ares of the park are great, it's the manmade parts that were troublesome. We have been here about 6 or 7 times over the last 27 years but not sure if we would return if they are going to increase the cost per person but not improve the facilities. read more
Full disclosure, I rarely write reviews on anything but restaurants. This was such a highlight of our trip that I felt like I needed to write a review. What an awesome place to visit! My wife and I took my 82 & 84 year old mother-in-law and father-in-law with us and they LOVED it. They both use canes and it took us a while to get to the falls but it was so worth it. The trail is paved and has wooden rails on portions of it for people to brace themselves. It is well maintained and only has a few spots with a steep incline. I'm not sure you would want to go if you were in a scooter or wheelchair but I suppose you could try. The pictures I attached do not do it justice. Highly recommend!!! read more

I have made several trips to Anna Ruby Falls in the past and it has been one of my favourite places to visit. As you enter the park, you are greeted by someone who will be collecting a park fee. $3 per person/adult. Not sure what the cost is with children but I'm sure they can be explained at the gate. The hike up to the Anna Ruby Falls from the center is very short. I would estimate the short hike is about 1/2 miles each way. BUT I will say, the short hike is fairly steep going up the paved path. The beauty of this is that, there are benches & railings along the way for one to stop and rest if needed. Also, on path, from time to time it does level out. If you're going during this time of year where the vegetation is back, you will experience some beautiful views as you walk up. The Falls themselves are amazing & well worth the effort. Once you have reached the top, you will come across a large platform and seated areas to rest, enjoy the views and the sounds of the waterfalls. My warning is, the walk up and down is a little steep. So, make sure to wear good shoes with traction. During certain time of day, it can get crowded at the top. If you desire to enter the gift shop and browse or if you arrive at the park and do not have cash to pay at the gate, you will be required to wear a mask to enter the shift shop. The bathrooms are well taken care of. They have a refreshment area which has vending machines, you can purchase any refreshment available. Overall, this can be a wonderful added activity when you're in Helen, GA. Definitely recommend visiting this park. read more

Is it possible to be pleasantly surprised by the same site? I didn't think so but yes! I wont go into anything I mentioned during my last review, and really i'll just focus on the timing of your visit. I visited a couple of months ago during a rainy, foggy day and this did two things for me. First it slashed the amount of visitors, and trust me there are always a ton of visitors on a lovely day with this easy hike (mostly paved trail with a forgiving incline and clocking in at about a half a mile). The second thing coming during "off peak" hours is the rain charged the falls, making them absolutely gorgeous and full. The rain also made the environment with all of the fog and quiet in the woods fantastical....and almost creepy. You'd half expect an elf to pop out from a tree....or have a tree start talking to you the way the mist just meandered through the trees. I was only here for a handful of minutes but very peaceful and lovely if you can find a way to get yourself an impromptu private audience like I did. Still a federally funded park, (translation, it costs $3 per person, not $5 per car like most state parks) it's located just before you reach Unicoi state park, which are both in Helen GA. Parking here is great with a decent amount of spots that I have rarely seen all in use. Kinda a hidden in plain site gem that probably shouldn't be your main stop into Helen, but its worth every moment. Hope you get to see the falls in the rain! read more
This place is enough to make you fall in love with Georgia all over. Beautiful hiking/walking trail up to the Falls. The trail runs all along running water so it's just beautiful. Do stop along the way to take in the little things like growing mushrooms. You're allowed to have your dog on a leash and there's a little gift shop and restrooms. If you have a national Park pass to get in with that. This place just feeds your read more

Nice uphill walk! It was beautiful. The hike is about as quick or as long as you'd like. All paved. read more
Absolutely gorgeous waterfalls! Pretty easy to find, we appreciated all the signs because our phones didn't get any service out there. It's $3 per person to enter the part of Unicoi State Park where the falls are. I was so happy to see that dogs are allowed! My pups were stoked and had a great time meeting the other dogs. We saw a small brown snake curled up on a rock by the trail. Just a heads up, this is a bit of a strenuous hike. It's a half mile to the falls and it's almost entirely straight up. I saw a lot of people start walking then plop down a few hundred feet in to the walk. It's a little bit cooler once you reach the falls but we were pretty warm on the way up. read more

Beautiful and enjoyable hike. Not too long, and well worth the walk. Only downside is the rise in elevation may me a bit much for disabled or elderly hikers. read more
Anna Ruby Falls are incredibly beautiful. It's only a .4 mile hike. And you have to pay $3 per person over the age of 16. If you're in Helen, Georgia it's not very far from downtown. Definitely go when it is raining! The falls are completely full and powerful! It's a quite a drive but if you take the back roads it's a gorgeous view of the mountains and the park! The only thing I wish was there was someone monitoring the amount of time people take to take pictures to stand there for 10 mins taking a selfie is a bit overkill! But the nature is beautiful! read more
