During our family camping trip at Vogel State Park we decided to take a day to go to Helen, Georgia. Before even going I had seen pictures of Anna Ruby Falls. I wanted to visit so badly but with everything that we had going on, I wasn’t sure if it wasn’t even going to be possible.
We headed to Helen, Georgia to play tourist. We visited shops, ate delicious fudge, and took about a million photos of the beautiful Bavarian town. The architecture is beautiful here. After our fun-filled day at Helen, Georgia we got split up in traffic as we headed out. I saw the sign for Unicoi State Park and immediately told my husband that that’s where Anna Ruby Falls is at. I really didn’t expect him to turn but he sure did surprise me.
Off we went to check out Anna Ruby Falls. I wasn’t too sure what to expect besides waterfalls and a short hike. I had no idea that it was going to be absolutely beautiful the entire trail. Boy was I in for a big surprise. Here are 10 photos that I hope will inspire you to visit Anna Ruby Falls. All of these photos were taken from the trail and the deck overlooking the waterfalls. Enjoy!
PHOTOS OF ANNA RUBY FALLS
Anna Ruby Falls has two separate falls. This one if the one that can be seen on the far right.
Both waterfalls roaring down. It was beautiful seeing how the water flowed through the rocks and made it’s way down the mountain.
This is the waterfall to the far left side. The bigger waterfall.
A distant view of Anna Ruby falls standing from the bridge upwards.
Along the side of the trail flowed the stream of water from the waterfalls. It was beautiful to see all of this water rushing down pass us.
Another shot of the stream flowing next to the trail.
Overlooking the stream flowing by the bridge.
More tiny waterfalls as the water makes its way down the mountain from the waterfall.
Gorgeous group of Berries found on the Leatherleaf Mahonia bush close to the trailhead.
Another shot of the stream roaring down the mountain. It’s so neat to see how the water just flows over and under all of these rocks.These are some of my best photos of Anna Ruby Falls trail.

Absolutely beautiful! This has to be the most beautiful hike and waterfalls we’ve seen yet. Definitely worth the short and a tad steep little hike!
I completely agree. The waterfalls are absolutely stunning. Best last minute hike we have ever done.
