Anna Ruby Falls, Helen GA
Not too far away from Atlanta, GA is the spectacular Anna Ruby Falls thundering down Tray Mountain in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Two side by side falls fed by two creeks: Curtis Creek and York Creek take breathtaking drops of 50 to 153 feet down to form Smith Creek. The twin falls can be reached from the parking lot by a .4-mile footpath that will take you approximately 30 to 40 minutes to complete. I suggest good hiking shoes as the trail winds through Smith Creak that is fed by the twin falls, and the trail can be damp and slippery. There are benches along the way, and wildlife can be found amongst the babbling Smith Creek.
There is a fee to enter Anna Ruby Falls at Unicoi State Park, but its only $1 per person. That’s really a small price to pay for such a splendor of nature. You can make it a weekend by staying at local Unicoi lodge and miscellaneous Bed & Breakfasts, Cabin rentals, Motels/Hotels in nearby Helen. Helen also sports wonderful stops for attractions, dining, entertainment, and recreational activities like tubing down the Chattahoochee River.
Whether you stay or visit for a few hours, Anna Ruby Falls is a must do on your list of things to do in Northeast Georgia.
