Angel Falls

Angel Falls is a waterfall in Rabun County in northeast Georgia that drops over Joe Branch Creek. The falls sits along a mountain trail that also leads to another waterfall and includes stream crossings as you walk through the area.

The trail to this waterfall was developed by the Forest Service to create public access to multiple falls in the region. This route allows visitors to explore different natural features during a single hike.

Local residents and nature photographers gather at Angel Falls throughout the year to document seasonal changes in water flow and surrounding vegetation.

Sturdy hiking boots are important for the uneven ground and stream crossings along the trail. Carrying water and taking breaks helps, especially when the path is wet and slippery.

Small caves near the waterfall provide natural shelter for black bears. Hikers should stay alert and maintain distance if they spot these animals in the area.
