Itinerary:

This is one of the most popular hikes in Georgia, and for good reason. It is a very moderate 2.5 mile hike to the falls. The trail parallels Dodd Creek, which forms numerous cascades and at least two waterfalls on the way. At 2.5 miles, we will reach Raven Cliffs Falls, which plummets over a 125 foot rock cliff. For the more adventurous, you can climb up to the top of the Falls, but watch your footing. We will eat lunch at the base of the falls and then hike home.

Required Items to Bring:
Lunch, Snacks, Rain Gear

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Bring some decedent hiking shoes, the trail can get muddy.

Take a right onto US 129 at Turners Corner. Take a left onto GA Alt 75. Take a left onto the Richard Russell Hwy, GA 348. Look for parking lot for Raven Cliffs Falls after about 3.0 miles on GA 348.
