Anna Ruby Falls

This twin waterfall, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, is one of the most beautiful and easily accessible that I've been to. The walk along a paved trail is less than a half mile and takes less than 30 minutes to do. The waterfall on the left (Curtis Creek) drops 153 feet, while the one on the right (York Creek) falls 50 feet.

This property was owned by Col. John Nichols during the late 19th century. He named the falls Anna Ruby Falls in honor of his daughter. A nice little visitor center displays nature exhibits and offers a variety of interesting gifts for sale. Behind the visitor center, a small creek has brook, rainbow, and brown trout that can be fed. A small parking fee is charged, but this place is well worth it.

My parents in their late 70s said it was really worth the walk. Very beautiful. The benches along the way help to let the elderly or infirm be able to enjoy the site.

Anna Ruby falls are spectacular! It is a little bit of a hike up to see them, but well worth the adventure! The pureness of the falls are refreshing and tranquil all in the same breath.

The falls are located about a mile from Helen in the Chattahoochee National Forest. The hike is about a 30 minute trip uphill to get to the falls. The scenery along the way is wonderful, though. Just take your time and enjoy the surroundings and you won't even feel a thing.

This spectacular set of twin waterfalls is well worth the walk up the steep trail. Take advantage of the rest stops; the walk is tiring and sometimes slippery with water. Be alert to wildlife, we were almost over ran by a deer! Once you reach the falls there are benches and overlooks. Allow 1-2 hours for the hike and for viewing the falls. Bring water and snacks.
