Long Creek falls is a 1 mile hike in Fannin County Georgia. It’s slightly uphill all the way to the falls and downhill all the way back.

There’s a few parking spots on the edge of the road. There’s even a note on the Benton MacKaye/ AT (AT is hiker lingo for Appalachian Trail) sign assuring you that the falls is that way.

Optional: while waiting for your friends to arrive: Have a snowball fight with a snowman.

The heavy snow weighed the trees down so the trail seemed narrower than it really was.

Since part of the trail is on the AT we met guy from Michigan on his mission to hike the whole AT.

There’s a sign marking the turn off to the falls. And you might see a friendly snowman too if you’re lucky.

It wasn’t raining and it wasn’t snowing but it felt like both most of the hike with the melting snow falling out of the trees.

    Thank you for these wonderful pictures. They seem to have the power to lift off the burdens of the week. My father in law has gone back to the Lord last week and I envision him in a much beautiful place than this.
