It takes less than an hour from Atlanta to trade in the grey of the city
pavements for the vibrant colors of Hiawassee - Young Harris, Georgia.

When we're children we seek wonderful, out of the way, secret and mysterious
places to play, we traverse paths and follow creeks hoping to come upon a place
that roars with the sound of cascading water, where maybe a fairy will come from
behind a wildflower petal and ask us if there is a wish that we have that maybe
she can grant. It is never too late to delight in such fancy and it is one of
the reasons that the waterfalls of this region are one of our most desirable
attractions. Only a few of our waterfalls are visible from the road or parking
lots. Most waterfalls are easily reached, requiring varying lengths of walks
and hikes.
