Another quick mid-week getaway. Unicoi State Park is near Helen, GA, and must totally hop during the summer season. In mid-winter it was almost empty. Lots of crazy cabin structures. Zip lines galore. Miles of hiking trails right in the park. You could hike to downtown Helen (4 miles one way) or to Anna Ruby Falls (5 miles one way). We walked to town, which is ersatz-Swiss alpine village tourist trap. Multiple fudge shops and beef jerky outlets. Again, it must hop in the summer.
On the second day we took a short drive and went to the excellent Raven Cliffs Falls. Beautiful hike in, following the river the whole way. The the main waterfall appears to emerge from a large crack in the cliff face. We hit up Duke Creek Falls on the way back. Easy hike in to the extensive viewing platforms at an area where two large creeks converge at multiple waterfalls.
