Anna Ruby Falls is a very accessible trip, only a couple of miles north of Helen, Georgia.  Simply drive to the end of Anna Ruby Falls Road past Unicoi State Park and find a parking spot at the Anna Ruby Falls Recreation Area parking lot.

But, it's also popular, so consider rising early to get your pictures in before the crowds show up.

The falls are a short hike north on the paved trail at the confluence of Curtis Creek and York Creek to form Smith Creek.

While this set up waterfalls doesn't offer a large swimming hole at the base, the accessibility and size make it a very popular destination for visitors to Alpine Helen.

Continuing north of Helen, you have a chance to visit Horse Trough Falls and Blue Hole Falls.

Or, you can double back and head west of town to catch Dukes Creek Falls and Raven Cliff Falls.

If that's not enough for you, then you can continue west about 30 minutes from Helen to reach DeSoto Falls, Dick's Creek Falls, Helton Creek Falls, or Trahlyta Falls at Vogel State Park.
