Helton creek falls is a short drive from Blairsville on highway 19, but one must navigate a couple of miles of a single lane dirt road with few turn outs to get there. The falls are clearly visible from the road but the easy quarter mile hike down the trail to the bottom gives one a much greater appreciation for the amount of water moving over the rocks. There is a pool at the base of the falls that vistors some times frolic in. Of course caution should be exercised since this is a rapid flowing creek.

The upper falls are just a few steps higher than the Lower Falls and has a viewing platform. The adventurous photographer might climb down below this platform or even out onto the rocks to the left of the falls for a different vantage point. There is lots of foreground objects that can be used to enhance the image. Please exercise extreme caution if venturing beyond the trail. Winter and summer view differ drastically due to the amount of foliage around the falls. There is also a campground near the falls if one would like to stay and hike the area.

Purchase the upper and lower falls images together and I will print and tone them to match so they can be displayed together.
