Two falls make the list for Villa Rica, and that is an honest count for this stretch of west Georgia piedmont. Hightower Falls lies out toward Cedartown. High Shoals Falls offers the real walk, 1.5 easy miles round trip with dogs allowed. The big drops start well to the north in the Blue Ridge, which explains the short list, so treat these two as close-to-home leg-stretchers.
