Cascade Falls Waterfall in Forsyth, Georgia

Cascade Falls in Georgia offers a picturesque hiking experience, but walkers should be prepared for a challenging trek through uneven, rocky terrain. The trail, which takes around two hours in and a bit over an hour back, passes several smaller falls that are ideal for breaks and photo opportunities. While the scenery is beautiful and shaded, the main waterfall may not meet expectations due to its modest size. However, the hike itself is enjoyable, especially for those who like to bring their dogs along, though it's advisable to avoid hiking alone due to the trail's seclusion.
