As soon as you step foot in Amicalola State Park, you'll realize why it is one of Georgia's most popular. It covers 829 acres of stunning, nature-filled, mountain wilderness in the Chattahoochee Nation Forest, with a lot of potential for outdoor adventure.

Amicalola State Park got its name from the Cherokee Indian word meaning tumbling waters, used in reference to the 729-foot falls that are located in the park, the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. When you rent an RV Dawson County, the nearby towns of Jasper, Dawsonville, and Ellijay are also all worth a visit.

The Screaming Eagle Aerial Adventure Tour will give you a bird's eye view of the forest below you as you feel the wind whip through your hair. The F4 Canopy Tour has been designed for little explorers. The Level 1 Tour consists of 9 ziplines that range from 75 to 1000 feet in length, as well as three suspension bridges. The Level 2 Zipline takes the adventure up a little further with an additional seven ziplines, some of which are over 2000 feet long and 350 feet high!
