The waterfall is located in Georgia’s Amicalola Falls State Park, and people know it as one of Georgia’s own seven natural wonders. Dogs are also allowed at the falls, and you’re even allowed to swim at the base of the falls when you get there if you need to cool off on a hot day. Amicalola Falls is also known as the southernmost point of the Appalachian Trail, making it a renowned landmark for hikers all over the world and a sight you definitely shouldn’t miss.
