Walking distance from the cabin
The town is surrounded by gorgeous North Georgia waterfalls, and this pair in the Lake Rabun Beach Recreation Area were two of our favorites.
It’s a fairly moderate, dog-friendly, 1.75-mile round-trip hike through a beautiful creek valley. And when we visited around 10AM on a weekday in early October, we were among just a small handful of people there.
Following Joe Creek .6-miles through a forest filled with rhododendron and old growth hardwoods, you’ll reach the impressive Panther Falls first.
But while Angel Falls requires a more arduous climb through a series of switchbacks, we found it well worth the effort.

Black Rock isn’t the tallest mountain in Rabun County, GA (that’s Rabun Bald, at 4,696 ft). But at 3,640 feet, it is the highest of all the state parks in Georgia.
It offers exceptional scenic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains that surround it, as well as the town of Clayton below. Positioned on the Eastern Continental Divide, the park offers an incredible array of activities and attractions.
The Black Rock and Blue Ridge Overlooks are great places to catch the sunrise, while the Nantahala and Tennessee Rock Overlooks offer amazing sunset views.
There are 11 miles of hiking trails, ranging from the easy Black Rock Lake and Norma Campbell Cove Trails to the more difficult– but splendid– James E. Edmond (backcountry) and Tennessee Rock Trails.
There’s also loads of options for fishing, swimming and paddling 17-acre Black Rock Lake, 60 campsites, 10 cottages, a playground, and more.

Another gorgeous waterfall that feeds into Lake Rabun, Minnehaha Falls is an easy waterfall hike that makes virtually every list of the best North GA waterfalls.
One of Minnehaha’s strongest selling points is its distance: At just .4 miles round-trip, it’s arguably the easiest waterfall hike in Rabun County.
But the waterfall’s accessibility is far surpassed by its extraordinary aesthetic beauty.
