to explore

Most of Georgia's waterfalls arise in the northern Blue Ridge and Appalachian foothills, where steep slopes, narrow gorges and resistant metamorphic bedrock channel streams into cascades; the Piedmont yields smaller drops and the coastal plain is largely flat and waterfall-poor. Hikes are predominantly moderate day trails with a few short family-friendly paths and the occasional strenuous scramble, and the state is notable for compact, multi-step falls clustered along short creek corridors easily reached from nearby cities.
