Anna Ruby Falls: Curtis Creek is on the left and York Creek is on the right

Anna Ruby Falls is located near the Unicoi State Park in White County near Helen, Georgia. The waterfall is accessible via a half mile (800 m) trail from a public use area with a small admittance charge. The Anna Ruby Falls Trail is designated a National Recreation Trail in Georgia.^[1]

Anna Ruby Falls is actually twin waterfalls created where two creeks join at the base of the falls and then flow into Unicoi Lake. Both creeks begin on Tray Mountain: Curtis Creek drops 153 feet (47 m) and York Creek drops 50 feet (15 m). The falls are named after Anna Ruby Nichols.
