Raven Cliffs Trail Hike

Raven Cliffs Trail is located in Helen, Georgia near the Blue Ridge Mountains. The trailhead is off Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway, a beautiful drive that winds around the mountain with several pull-offs for fantastic mountain vistas. The trail itself runs through a waterfall-filled valley with six major falls.

Trail Length and Surroundings

Raven Cliffs is a 6.6-mile hike round trip, and gorgeous the entire way. The trail is well kept and fairly flat, with only one rocky spot that can get slippery. One of the best features of the Raven Cliffs trail is that the creek runs right beside most of it, so the majority of the hike is accompanied by the peaceful sound of water running over rock.

Hike Level and Recommendations

The Raven Cliffs hike is fairly moderate. There are no really steep inclines, and it doesn't start to ascend until you near the end. Bring water and a snack, maybe even lunch. We recommend hiking boots and a walking stick or pole. On this particular hike, one pole works better than two.
