There are so many fabulous natural wonders to discover, scattered around our state of Georgia. However, there’s one that springs to mind when the summer heat makes its return to the ATL, and that’s Blue Hole Falls.
With two of Georgia’s beautiful waterfalls nestled in this super-green fraction of the peach state, hikers and visitors are in for a treat, so make sure to pack that camera for some gorgeous snaps of these Georgian cascades! However, make sure that you definitely pack items for swimming, as there’s a beloved swimming hole on the trail.
