Raven Cliff Falls and Dukes Creek Falls

Raven Cliff Falls is a super popular 5-mile out and back trail near Helen, GA and for good reason. Much of the hike up to the falls follows along Dodd Creek, and gives great views as well as providing peaceful & calming sounds. The falls at the top of the trail cascade between two beautiful cliff faces and is a sight well worth the hike.

Some areas of the Raven Cliff Trail does have some rocks, roots, and wet areas as well, so poles are suggested if that is your thing. Also, there is one shallow water crossing early on in the hike as the bridge is out. Many people just cross over a fallen tree. So, please do be aware of that.
After completing Raven Cliff, we will drive the short distance over to the Dukes Creek Falls and complete the relatively easy 2.25 mile out and back.

We will meet outside the restrooms in the parking lot at the Raven Cliff trailhead, and will begin the hike at 9:00 am. Our pace will be 2.25 to 2.5 mph.

The pin in the event map will get you to the spot where we will meet when using google maps. But cell signal in that general area can be a wee bit spotty, so it is best to familiarize yourself with the map in advance …

Below are some helpful links that can help you familiarize with the hikes beforehand. As always, if you have any questions in advance, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them.
