The Dukes Creek Recreation Area in the Chattahoochee National Forest is one of the most popular destinations in North Georgia. Here you can picnic beside the cool rushing waters of Smith Creek, hike an overland trail to other area destinations, or enjoy a moderate walk on the one and one-tenth mile trail to Dukes Creek Falls. The trail to the falls is interesting as it gradually descends down to the base of the falls. Some of the trail is a wooden boardwalk, with several staircases. At the bottom of the last stairway, take a sharp left and continue about a quarter of a mile. Be alert, the trail to the falls veers sharply to the right. It is well maintained as it drops to the falls. When you arrive, there are two observation areas,
Do not leave the trail, or boardwalk. The rocks are slippery and dangerous. Keep an eye on small children, as the roar of the rushing water could easily drown out cries for help/ If you must limit yourself to one or two sight-seeing trips while in the Helen / Cleveland area, be sure that Dukes Creek Falls is one of your top choices! |
