AMICALOLA FALLS STATE PARK

LEN FOOTE HIKE INN - AUGUST 20, 1999

The Len Foote Hike Inn is located in and around the Amicalola Falls State Park and Chattahoochee National Forest.  It is targeted to hikers that enjoy the wilderness but prefer a soft bed, hot showers, and great food instead of backcountry camping.

The Inn was completed in the late 1990's and is accessible only by foot over a moderate five mile trail which originates at the top of the falls. The trail is fairly easy and it crosses some small streams and ridges on the way to the Inn.  You can combined it with the blue blazed Approach Trail and complete a loop hike back to Amicalola Falls (where the Len Foote Hike Inn parking area is located.)    

This was our first trip to the Len Foote Hike Inn, and the lodge was fairly new and not well known at the time (although it has received a lot of media attention and a tremendous increase in traffic since 1999.)  We hiked the ten mile loop and really enjoyed our stay.
