Fall Branch Falls Trailhead — Attraction in Talking Rock

Hiking to Fall Branch Falls in Cherry Log, Georgia, was one of those experiences that leaves you feeling refreshed and connected to nature. The trail was just under a mile round trip, and while it had a few roots and inclines, it was only a little challenging—just enough to make me feel like I earned the view at the end.

As I made my way through the forest, I was surrounded by towering trees and thick clusters of mountain laurel and rhododendron. Birds chirped overhead, and the breeze carried the fresh, earthy scent of the woods. The path was well-marked and shaded, making it a pleasant walk even in warmer weather.

I began to hear the sound of falling water before I saw it, and that gentle roar pulled me forward with anticipation. When I reached the viewing platform, the falls took my breath away—two tiers of water cascading over smooth rocks into a cool, clear pool below. It was peaceful and beautiful, like something out of a storybook.

I lingered for a while, soaking in the moment before heading back. It was a short hike, but the natural beauty and quiet serenity made it one I won’t forget...

The walk back down to the car was much quicker than up lol but would absolutely go again when we visit Blue Ridge. It's definitely off the beaten path. As the locals shared, just keep driving - you can't miss it and they're right. Definitely add this to your list of...

This trail has become to busy and now with the adding glamping yurts along the trail the scenery is completely ruined. We made it to the falls and immediately turned around. It was so crowded there were so many people crowded around just waiting for a picture and with the loud music coming from the campers at the yurts it just ruined the experience. If you’re looking for a beautiful, serene trail , look elsewhere. Luckily we went to the Toccoa River suspension bridge earlier this day which was gorgeous. Just...
