Hiking
The Bear Creek Trail is one of the most popular hiking destinations. Towering old-growth trees shade a beautiful, boulder-lined, densely vegetated creek valley. It is a moderate 5.7-mile trail climbing from the lush Bear Creek valley to a nearby summit near Ellijay. The tumbling river splashes through a lush forest just west of Ellijay, Georgia. With abundant wildflowers, blankets of moss, and a visit to the stately Gennett Poplar tree, the Bear Creek Trail is one of our favorite hikes in North Georgia.
The Appalachian Trail begins in Maine and rolls into the southern Appalachians of North Georgia, starting a 2,000-mile journey through fourteen states. The trail travels 78.6 miles in Georgia, beginning at the southernmost blaze at Springer Mountain. Springer Mountain is a 2-mile round trip hike. It is short, but challenging walk that ascends to beautiful views at the summit and visits the Appalachian Trail’s final destination commemorating the trail’s southern beginning with a bronze plaque.
Three Forks to Springer Mountain is a favorite day hike in Georgia. It is an 8.6-mile moderately challenging round trip hike crossing through a creek-filled forest, with varying terrain and scenic beauty. In its final stretch, the Appalachian Trail dips through a lush, green, creek-filled valley before climbing to its end at Springer.
These hikes are just a few of the hikes that North Georgia has to offer. These walks are also pet-friendly because at Mountain Oasis we offer pet-friendly North Georgia Cabin Rentals so you and your four-legged companion can enjoy everything there is to see on your vacation.

North Georgia Waterfalls: A Complete Guide
Much to the surprise of many Northerners, North Georgia is home to one of the largest and most beautiful stretches of waterfall hunting in the United States. There’s no denying the majesty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Western New York, and the Oregon Cascades, but North Georgia is mile-for-mile equally as accessible and beautiful. Mountain Oasis Cabin Rentals is within 60 miles of nearly two dozen waterfalls, scattered throughout the breathtakingly colorful Blue Ridge Mountains. Here are five of our favorite North Georgia waterfalls, all within 26 miles of Ellijay, GA.
Tails Creek Falls
Twelve miles southwest of Ellijay, GA, you’ll stumble upon a cascading hidden gem on the Tumbling Waters Trail. The trail leads up to Tails Creek, which runs into stunning Carters Lake. Tails Creek is the home of a seemingly endless cascading waterfall that most call Tails Creek Falls. This 1.3-mile out-and-back hiking path cuts through gorgeously lush North Georgia forestry before arriving at a serene chain of cascades.
Fall Branch Falls
A beautiful 14-mile mountain drive north of Ellijay, GA, rests one of the best North Georgia waterfalls: Fall Branch Falls. This quick and easy trail is a popular summer destination for those hoping to soak in warm Georgia river water while enjoying the quiet beauty of the region.
Emery Creek Falls
Emery Creek Falls is often rated as one of the three best North Georgia waterfalls because of the serene five-mile journey. The trail unforgettably meanders through the lush Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest before arriving at beautiful Emery Creek Falls. There are two cascades to explore at the end of this out-and-back trail.
Amicalola Falls
Amicalola Falls is often regarded as the premier natural spectacle in North Georgia. Most hikers access the falls by hopping on the East Ridge Loop Trail, which can be picked up from the main parking lot. These falls are not only stunningly gorgeous, but the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains are the icing on the cake.
