The trail head is located on 1.3 miles along Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway which can be reached from Alt Hwy 75 near Helen, GA. There are plenty of parking spaces for this popular trail. You might want to consider combining this hike with Raven Cliff Falls which is about a mile further up on the Scenic Highway away from Alt 75.
The trail is very well defined and is a gradual downhill to the falls. There are a number of switchbacks and the beginning part includes some boardwalk and some steps.
At the end of the trail there are some boardwalks and two viewing decks which give great views of the Falls.
Hiking this trail is best done in the Spring and Fall to take advantage of the Spring rains and the Fall colors.
