This is a great state park. We love the trails next to the falls. The trails are clean, safe and have access to the water views. Picnics on the rocks are a wonderful weekend treat. There's a small hot dog restaurant close by that has a huge variety of toppings. The convenience store is not very clean, but we didn't go for the shopping. The camp grounds are some our favorite in the state. Very clean bathrooms.

A trip to High Falls State Park, is always nice, but the hiking trails are especially beautiful in the fall. The people in charge of the park are always helpful and friendly. If you visit on a week-end when the historians are there, you can learn and appreciate the history of the falls.

This was our third trip camping at High Falls and our second time to stay in a yurt. The yurts are awesome! Easily sleeps six, has a working heater (even in sub-freezing weather) and electricity. No cooking facilities, but we brought a cooler, camp stove and Mr. Coffee. The bath facilities are nearby. The porch on the yurt has a nice view of the lake. There are many nice trails with views nearby. No pets allowed. Great weekend trip from Atlanta.

This park has over 4.5 miles of hiking trails in addition to a playground, picnic area, water activities and several campgrounds. There are even yurts available to rent. We took the 1.5 mile Falls Trail which is a loop. What I loved was that you can see the falls right at the beginning of the trail so if people get tired, they can turn back. The trail isn't smooth and there were a few steep steps to take, but that made it interesting. Also, there were red markers on the trees to help you stay on the trail. The park ranger warned us of a spot where people accidentally get off the trail. Sure enough we did it too, but realized our mistake quickly when we didn't see the red markers. Beautiful!

The falls were beautiful. The trail was somewhat steep but the falls were about 100 feet into the trail so it was very doable with our 4 year old. We did not walk the entire trail but we're able to see exactly what we went to see. The man at the park enter able was very helpful and suggested two other gems to visit and they were both great. Very friendly.

The waterfalls here are great but are not the center of focus for the park. Emphasis seems to be on camping and boating. Trails in the area of the falls are in very poor condition. Late fall is not the season to see a full running waterfall unless there have been unusually heavy rains in the watershed. I wish the state would put a little more effort into the falls experience.

Bottom line, the waterfalls and trail down to the bottom of the falls are worth a visit. The park itself is not that great in my view, but the falls are worth it. Note, was told they are going to work on the dam, so the water levels will be way down, so check with the park if you are going soon to see if there is any water running over the dam (wasn't today) and down the falls.
