If you know us, you know we love a good waterfall. Oconee County is home to some beautiful waterfalls. We’ve included the details to two of our favorites below:
• Brasstown Falls - Long Creek, SC
Four falls ranging from 20ft. to 40ft. The trails have been updated and are more accessible. New steps along the trail have been added along with several viewing platforms. The left trail to the upper falls has a family friendly short hike with bridge over the creek. Good swimming holes at both ends of the trail. Brasstown Creek BBQ is a great place to eat Fri. or Sat. 4-9pm (cash only). GPS Coordinates Parking Area: N 34.71908 W 083.30158
• Fall Creek Falls - Mountain Rest, SC
Multiple falls range from 30 to 40 ft. within a 1-mile stretch. A long, steep, but not dangerous 2-mile hike made more difficult during spring and summer by foliage. Best viewing is in winter. GPS coordinates to parking area: N 34.82246 W 083.25079
Naturally, we had to add a good gym to the list of things to do.
If you’re staying near the lake, highly recommend checking out unlimited outfitters for paddle board and kayak rentals. You can make a reservation with them online.
Wild water is a great option for white water rafting and zip lining. They are located in Long Creek, SC & you can make reservations online.
highly recommend checking out Helen, GA.
Helen is a mountain town in Notheast Georgia known for its vineyards and Bavarian-style buildings. There is something here for everyone from shopping to tubing, the whole family will enjoy the trip.
