Anna Ruby Falls

Anna Ruby Falls

Anna Ruby Falls is located near Unicoi State Park in White County near Helen, Georgia. The waterfall is accessible via a half mile (800 m) trail from a public use area with a small admittance charge. The Anna Ruby Falls Trail is designated a National Recreation Trail in Georgia.

Anna Ruby Falls is actually twin waterfalls created where two creeks join at the base of the falls, and then flow into Unicoi Lake. Both creeks begin on Tray Mountain: Curtis Creek drops convert|153|ft|m|0 and York Creek drops convert|50|ft|m|0. The falls are named after Anna Ruby Nichols. The Anna Ruby Falls Scenic Area is a convert|1600|acre|km2|0|sing=on area around Anna Ruby Falls and is part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, though access is only through Unicoi State Park. The U.S. Forest Service leases it to the non-profit Cradle of Forestry, thus the "universal" public lands pass for senior citizens is not honored. The entry fee for the parking area is one dollar per person, and a Georgia state parks pass (such as for parking at Unicoi) is not honored, as it is on federal land rather than state.

Anna Ruby Falls is one of four popular waterfalls located in the Forest near Helen, Georgia. Two of the other water falls, Dukes Creek Falls and Raven Cliff Falls, are also in White County, while the third waterfall, DeSoto Falls, is in neighboring Lumpkin County
