Calling all waterfall lovers! Our couple, Jessica and Kyle, decided to tie the knot at one of our favorite local waterfalls in north Georgia. Helton Creek Falls is located in the lower area of Blairsville, GA. There are two different ways to get there. One route is through the forest and a creek crossing (this is called a ford and is a bit scary when it’s a new experience.) The main way is through the cutest neighborhood that seems like one of those neighborhoods where everyone knows everyone’s cats and shares eggs and milk. It’s beautiful the whole drive in because of the cottages and the tall trees. There is moss everywhere with mountain laurel and rhododendron trees making it feel magical. I am a sucker for ferns and rocks and an even bigger sucker for creeks and waterfalls and Helton Creek has two falls!!! So, imagine how much I love it.
There’s a boardwalk and sitting area at the main falls at the end of the trail with handrails and paths for most of the hike. I call it a hike for sure because there are lots of steps and plenty of places to get a little muddy or dirty if it has rained recently. The trails are under a canopy of tall forest so everything is pretty damp and plush. Chattahoochee National Forest offers such a diverse forest floor with a lush valley and old-growth hemlock trees.
