ENOTA Waterfalls Helen, Blairsville, Hiawassee, North Georgia,

Relax among the Waterfalls of 

The Appalachian & Great Smokey Mountains

"The Purest Water"

Enota, Cherokee for the land that nourishes, lives up to its name.  On the Enota property the head waters to many of the main waterways of the South see the light of day and are born into existence on our property.  From here our sparkling streams begin their long trek to rivers like the  mighty Chattahoochee, Hiawassee, Soapstone, and more... 

Adjoining and on our property we have  the Gurley Falls, Big Joel Falls, Small Joel Falls, and  Garrett Falls.  Gurley is a two stage waterfall with a total drop in elevation of over 200 ft. This majestic site can be seen within a few feet of our cabins.  Feel free to hike on up to the top and play in the water. A short hike will also take you past the Small Joel Falls, along side a trout pond,  and up to Big Joel Falls which is also over 200 feet. This waterfall is made of a large granite outcropping.  From here you can continue on to the Appalachian Trail.  Off to the side of our main entrance you can see the Garrett Falls, as it joins the Soapstone River.  If adventure is in your blood, you don't have to go far. Cross the road out front and you're on your way to another tall fall, over 100 feet and rarely visited. Nature at its best.  

Listed are some of the many waterfalls to be found within this area, along with directions and brief descriptions. This is in no way a comprehensive list. The North Georgia Mountains are covered with falls of all shapes and sizes. 

Be Aware: 

When hiking in or around waterfalls of any type danger is not far away.
