Hike the Benton MacKaye Trail in a short half-mile roundtrip, exploring the cascading Fall Branch Falls waterfall and shady, mossy forest near Blue Ridge. This short, beginner-friendly adventure explores a scenic, lush forest and visits one of Georgia's most beautiful waterfalls. While the hike to Fall Branch Falls is nearly all uphill, and mildly challenging, it's well worth the effort.
