Driving into the park entrance There's a waterfall in Georgia that's taller than Niagara, so you're basically climbing a 70-story building just to see the top. This is Amicalola Falls State Park, just about an hour from Atlanta, but it feels like you've been dropped into the heart of the Appalachian wilderness. Quick cuts: climbing stairs, mist-swept platform, forest trail It's way more than just a waterfall. First, you have the infamous 600-plus steps that'll definitely get your heart pumping. Then, you'll find the incredible mist-swept view platform right over the 729-foot cascade. And you can't miss the East Ridge Loop for some amazing forest overlooks. Here's a wild fact: this park is the southern starting point for the Appalachian Trail, so you could literally start a hike here and end up in Maine.
