There are many miles of hiking trails in Unicoi State Park. The trails provide a great opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the north Georgia mountains, with views and hiking experiences that change with each season. We will be hiking 2 different trails which will total about 4 to 5 miles in distance.
After the hike, we will spend some time enjoying the sights of the alpine town of Helen, GA
Unicoi Lake Trail
It is relatively flat and varies from a forest road to a narrower single track trail. There are many nice views of the lake, the forest, and the mountains along its route.
Dukes Creek Falls Trail
2 miles round trip
It is a series of three switchbacks that lead down to falls on Davis Creek at its confluence with Dukes Creek. There are water cascades on Dukes Creek While the pathway is remarkably level, it descends more than 400 feet on the half-mile walk. The sound of the waterfall can only be heard at the middle of each switchback, fading as the next turn approaches. Where the footpath switches back the sounds of the forest are louder than the falls. After the second switch the path now narrows considerably. At the falls three more observation decks have been built into a boardwalk.
