Helton Creek Falls drops 100 ft (30 m) as a tiered waterfall in Georgia.

The falls are fed by Helton Creek. You'll find it in Union, Georgia. It is protected within U.S. Forest Service (Chattahoochee National Forest).

This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.3 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Blairsville, the closest town.

When to go: Spring. Like most waterfalls, Helton Creek Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
