Fall Branch Falls - The final place

Relatively easy hiking trail to a waterfall in the Cherry Log/Blue Ridge area. Kids as young as 3…read morecan walk the trail. It's a pretty short trail to the waterfall approximately 1/2 mile. The cell service is poor getting to the trail so map it out before hand. Along the trail you will see a Glamping camp, which is very cute. Definitely would recommend as a family outing.

I was finally able to get some lite hiking in. Fall Branch Falls was the perfect trail to get back…read moreinto it. All the Yelp Reviews are pretty spot on and all agree. A nice moderate trail deep in the woods, which I liked because the shade kept everything a little cooler. The trail is very easy to follow and not overly long. Caution needs to be taken as there are many tree roots extending above the ground and could easily cause a trip. Careful is key. A rise in elevation of approximately 300 feet over half a mile makes it a decent cardio walk. With many different trees, plants and flowers along the way. All culminating with a beautiful waterfall. Note: depending on the season and amount of rain will determine the amount of water coming over the falls. Two minor items that need to be corrected. 1. Yelp has the wrong address (or pin drop) I'm not sure which. Not even close. 6 more miles down a gravel road to be exact. I'll try and fix that. 2. Not one sign or directional indicating you're are heading in the right direction. But other than that a very enjoyable experience.

I recently ran from Woody Gap trailhead to the top of Blood Mountain and back for the first time…read morewhich totaled around 16.5 miles round trip. It is a very beautiful section to hike, run and/ or camp on! Along the route you will pass over Preachers Rock! This is one of the best spots to watch sunrise if you're able to get up there before it begins! It is just over a mile from the parking lot of Woody Gap to the top of Preachers Rock. Along the route to Blood Mountain you will pass several designated camping spots (free to camp, first come first serve). I have yet to camp on this section, but I've picked a couple spots to try out next time! There are 3 water crossings along the route that you can fill up at; just make sure to filter the water before you drink it. I recommend bringing a Sawyer Mini water filter. It fits into the palm of your hands, so it doesn't take up any room in your pack. The trail itself is very easy to follow. I was a little nervous at first that I may get off course or take a wrong turn/ trail, but I can assure you that there is only one main trail that runs from Woody to Blood. There are some side trails that intersect, BUT they either lead to campsites or shelters. As long as you stay on the main trail, it is hard to get lost! I can't wait to go Bach again and run from Woody Gap to Neel Gap which will be around 20 miles round trip.

It was a 30 minute hike and worth it because the view is beautiful! It's a little steep towards the…read moreend but it's doable.

If there wasn't a recent rain or snow, the falls are not really falling. Even with the little…read morewater fall I was there for, it was still memorable. Plenty of parking. BUT, not free and definitely not easy. No cell phone signal to download app that is required to pay the $5 fee. Driving in can be stressful, as there are motorcycles zooming all around you on the winding roads. Also the loud motorcycles take away from the sound ambiance at times. There are toilets, but they are literally holes in the ground with no lighting, so just be mentally prepared for that. There is a north waterfall and a south waterfall. The north is not only larger, but an easier climb. South waterfall is tiny and basically switchback stairs. The best activity here would be camping in either tent or rv by the beautiful creek.

Definitely a good set of falls (Upper and Lower falls) to see in the area…read more This is one of the easier falls to get to in the area. It is right off of 19 which is a 2-lane road. To get to either the upper or lower falls you park at the DeSoto Falls recreation area. This location has a campground and a parking lot next to it. There were about 40 parking spots for cars at the parking lot portion along with a bathroom and informational board. If you are going to go here make sure you look at their website and download the app or purchase a parking pass before you get there. There is very poor cell service when you are at the parking lot and the sign recommends going online to purchase a pass through the app but with poor cell service that is problematic. A parking pass is $5 and can be purchased online or at any state park. The trailhead for both the upper and lower falls is right after the campground and across a small bridge spanning a lovely creek. The upper falls is to the right and the lower falls is to the left. The lower falls are about 1/4 of a mile up a fairly steep and often narrow trail for most of the path. The viewing platform is smaller than the Upper falls platform but can fit several people comfortably. I really enjoyed this hike and the one to the Upper Falls. They were in a drought when I went so the falls are not really full but the view was still nice. If you feel adventurous, I would recommend doing the Upper falls after this. Enjoy.

It's only a 10 minute hike to swinging bridge if you drive on the bumpy FS816 for 3 miles. The…read morebridge was built in 1977 by the National Forest Service and crosses the Toccoa River, spanning 270 ft. This is Georgia's longest suspension bridge. It really does make you feel a little woozy crossing if your partners walk swings in tandem with the bridge. The water is refreshingly cool, in contrast to Blue Ridge Lake water. We heard about this place earlier in the year and were already in Blue Ridge so coming here was just an extra 35 minutes out of the way, but well worth seeing Georgias Longest When we crossed over the river turns in a long arch as it passes. A very nice spot to camp too, tho we heard a loud bull frog calling out heartily. This bridge is one of many features along the 300 mile white blazed Benton Mackay Trail (BMT). One day I may hike or run the whole thing.

This suspension bridge was built in 1977 and is the longest bridge in the Southeastern US. If you…read morepark at the end of the fire service road it's a 1/4 mile hike in. I am not a hiker due to medical issues but was able to do this. Just info for maybe people not as active. It was so worth it, absolutely beautiful. It doesn't only sway but goes up and down. I made my hubby wait until i went all the way across because the bridge was going crazy with both of us. Hold on to phones I could easily see dropping it. You have the beautiful Toccoa River underneath you. So peaceful and gorgeous. We got lucky and had the place to ourselves. *Just FYI we did see a black bear on our way out and that was exciting.
