Anna Ruby Falls — Attraction in Clayton

Ever-changing beautiful work of God! There is something for everyone. I've been going here for 40 years. As I get older, it has become a little more difficult to walk the trail. It is still a hike you can make. Just pace yourself. There are rocks and benches you can rest on. I do n9t recommend a motorized scooter. It may be too steep in one area and there are steps to the final viewing platform. If the scooter has power and tires that will grip the pavement on an incline, then you may make it. The walk back down is not bad. Strollers may have to be parked at the very end. Personally, I let my toddlers walk the path. It gave them a work out. The path is safe. Bring cash for the entrance to the Georgia State Park ($5) and to the National Forrest ($5). You have to pass through the GA State Park to get to Anna Ruby Falls.

There is a loop path that is ideal for those who have sensory disabilities or who cannot walk the steeper path. You will not see the waterfall but you can enjoy nature. Bring a picnic and drinks.

Take a bottle if water with you and your camera on the hike up. Bathrooms, vending machines ($1 bills only), and a gift shop are available. I recommend going when it's cooler...

Beautiful falls but the ratings I've read stating this as moderate difficulty is a bit misleading if you are physically challenged. It is paved the whole distance but the steep inclines are very challenging for the handicapped and pushing someone in a wheelchair exhausting even for a strong, physically fit person. Also, there are several steps at the end of the hike. There are benches to sit and relax along the way but without the aid of my service dog I don't think I could have made it to the falls. I did see a few physically challenged people give up and turn back. It's worth the effort if you can...
