Minnehaha Falls is a half-mile waterfall hike in the North Georgia Mountains, and is a must see when you are in the area and want to stretch your legs. Minnehaha Falls is a series of cascades located on Falls Creek in Rabun County, Georgia. The waterfalls near Lake Rabun and inside the Chattahoochee National Forest, descend about 100 feet over a stepped rock formation. This hike is an easy to moderate incline to the falls. The 100 foot Minihaha waterfalls is an easy (0.5 mile) half mile hike that will reward you with a natural beautiful waterfall in the Georgia mountains.

There is a rock bench set in the perfect location for a great selfie or photo.

From the parking area the wooden hand rail leading to the falls is in plain sight. As you head up the trail you follow the creek on your right. About half way up the trail you see a small 10 foot cascade that you can get closer to on a side path.
