High Shoal Falls

This hike starts at a small trailhead on the gravel Indian Grave Gap Road that has room for ~4 cars. The quickest way here is from GA 17, but you have to cross a small stream to get here – so a high clearance vehicle is suggested.

At the trailhead, The High Shoal Falls trail drops immediately and makes a steep decent to a large open area that has multiple campsites at a bridge that crosses High Shoal Falls Creek. Just after here about a mile in to the hike is a turn-off to the left that drops down to the first waterfall called Blue Hole Falls. It is a pretty one with a great swimming area at the base of the falls.

From here, you can continue on another half mile to reach a platform that overlooks High Shoal Falls. It does not have a pool for swimming at it’s base but is equally scenic and well worth the trip. From here, it is a ~500′ climb back to the trailhead at from High Shoal Falls.
