Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 FinnMedia Productions · Dec 2023

Good area for a quick hike and the Amicalola is beautiful scenery. The trail loops around and is moderately easy. About 3.5 total miles. The area that was cut many years ago is growing back. The river provides plenty of opportunity for swimming, tubing, kayaking, fishing. The summer weekends can get really crowded and also the fall around the fall foliage time. Winter and spring are not as busy. Also, the late fall and winter months are better hiking because the brush on the side of the trails is not hanging over across the trail. The pine trees are growing back creating more cover which should eventually help the weed growth.

All the gates were locked. I grew up down the road and now can't even go everywhere I want. A shame. Still pretty in the snow.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Matthew Fugel · May 2023

Beautiful area, but pick up your trash. Keep Georgia beautiful forever. If you fish, camp, or just visit - take everything you brought with you, and leave no trace.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Zeferino Chavez · Nov 2023

Tough place to hunt but has several beautiful places to go to. I'm not familiar with all the trails, but Amicalola Falls is very close and amazing to go spend time hiking with family.
