Highest Waterfall East of the Mississippi

Just outside of Dahlonega (and a few miles from the home of D&B) is Amicalola Falls, the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi. And right now, the Amicalola Falls State Park, home to the cascading waterfall, is in the running to be named the America's Favorite Park.

If you've ever been to the park and hiked up to the viewing platform or even up to the top of the falls, you've got to agree that the park is beautifully maintained and that waterfall is spectacular. The park has numerous hiking trails, rental cabins and a spectacular lodge on the top of the mountain.

We've hiked up to the falls in all kinds of conditions - sweating in 100 degree temperatures and several times all bundled up climbing up snow covered trails. It's always fun and now a family tradition on Christmas Eve.

If you've never been to the park, check it out. And if you are an Amicalola Falls lover, be sure to cast your vote for the park as America's Favorite.
