Toccoa Falls is a very short hike/walk it is probably .2 until you reach the base of the waterfall. So if your looking for something easy this is definitely it. Don't cut your day short there are several hikes in the area such as Raven Cliff Falls, Unicoi State Park, Ana Ruby Falls and Yonah Mountain and more. We were not far from downtown Helen so we spent the afternoon there at there Octoberfest and had lunch at a great pizza joint.
