Anna Ruby Falls

Although there are various waterfalls in Northern Georgia, there are none quite as impressive as the Anna Ruby Falls. The falls are about seven miles outside the town of Helen and can be reached by a scenic half-mile trail from the parking area. While the falls are breathtaking, it is the journey to reach them that is half the excitement.
