Visit spectacular twin waterfalls plunging more than 150 feet at Anna Ruby Falls Recreation Area!
These beautiful falls are located in the Chattahoochee National Forest of North Georgia and are readily accessible with a little bit of hiking. The falls are created by two creeks and are collectively known as Anna Ruby Falls.
Anna Ruby Falls has become a popular spot for hikers and nature lovers. To get to the visitors center, you will need to drive through Unicoi State Park. Unfortunately, the fees for the Anna Ruby Falls Recreation Area and Unicoi State Park have nothing to do with one another. If you want to visit both places, you have to pay a fee for each one. If you are only visiting the falls, you are allowed to drive through Unicoi State Park for free.
The adventure begins on The Anna Ruby Falls Trail, located at the visitor information center. The trail climbs steadily through the forest providing views of lush greenery and smaller waterfalls. While the twin waterfalls are the main attraction, the trail itself is beautiful.
The half-mile trail to the falls is paved but relatively steep. Benches are located along the trail for those who want to sit and rest or just enjoy the area's scenic beauty. An observation deck is located at the base of the falls for viewing and photos. More adventurous hikers can also walk the 4.6 mile Smith Creek Trail, which connects the base of Anna Ruby Falls to Unicoi State Park.
The Anna Ruby Falls Recreation Area offers ample parking, restrooms, a visitor’s center, and an interpretive trail. Pack a lunch for after the hike and enjoy the picnic areas overlooking the creek.
