This Waterfall Great For Viewing Fall Foliage In Georgia

Fall in Georgia is a beautiful time. There’s so much to see and do here, from our amazingly fun fall festivals to leaf peeping some of the gorgeous golden and red hues that pop up. One of the best places to see fall foliage in Georgia is Anna Ruby Falls. This waterfall is just outside of Helen and we admit, it’s gorgeous at any time of year, but it’s especially amazing in the autumn. If you’re a fan of checking out the changing leaves in the Peach State, this is one spot you don’t want to miss!

The hike to Anna Ruby Falls is short and sweet. At just under one mile in length, it’s an out-and-back paved trail that won’t even take most people half an hour to complete.

This area is one of the most stunning in the state when it comes to fall foliage, and we’re so lucky to have such an accessible waterfall to view surrounded by the leaves.

Anna Ruby Falls is actually a pair of waterfalls formed by Curtis Creek and York Creek. The two combine to make Smith Creek.

The highest of the two falls plunges 153 feet and is quite the impressive drop. You can get a great view from the observation deck.

The nearby Lion’s Eye Trail is a 0.1-mile walk that contains interpretive signs written in braille to describe the landscape to those who are visually impaired.

This is one of our favorite waterfalls in Georgia and most definitely one of the best spots to view the leaves changing.
