Hike the Benton MacKaye Trail in a short half-mile roundtrip, exploring the cascading Fall Branch Falls waterfall and shady, mossy forest near Blue Ridge. This short, beginner-friendly adventure explores a scenic, lush forest and visits one of Georgia's most beautiful waterfalls. While the hike to Fall Branch Falls is nearly all uphill, and mildly challenging, it's well worth the effort. The waterfall's double cascades are simply beautiful, framed in gnarly-branched rhododendron and mossy, blocky rocks. It's one of the top easy hikes near Blue Ridge, thanks to its relatively short distance and wonderfully scenic beauty. This trail is just under an hour away from the Honeywood Hideaway.
