418 Amicalola Falls Lodge Dr
Dawsonville, GA 30534
It s easy to see why Amiclola Falls State Park is one of Georgia s most popular state parks. Amicalola, a Cherokee Indian word meaning tumbling waters, is an appropriate name for these 729-foot falls - the tallest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River. An 8.5 mile approach trail leads from the park to Springer Mountain, the southern end of the 2,135-mile Appalachian Trail. However, numerous other trails are available for shorter journeys. A beautiful lodge at the top of the mountain is popular with guests who prefer hotel-type comforts, while a five-mile hike leads to more remote accommodations at the Len Foote Hike Inn.
