About This Trail
Raven Cliff Falls Trail is a popular North Georgia waterfall hike through a lush creek valley in the Chattahoochee National Forest. The route follows Dodd Creek through forested terrain, passing cascades and mossy streamside scenery before reaching the distinctive waterfall area where water drops through a split in the cliffs.
The hike is moderate, with enough distance to feel like a real outing while still being approachable for many prepared visitors. Expect natural-surface footing, roots, rocks, damp sections, and busy conditions at the trailhead during peak times. The creekside setting is beautiful, but wet rocks and unofficial side paths can create hazards and damage sensitive areas.
Before visiting, check current Forest Service conditions, parking, and weather. Wear shoes with traction, bring water, stay on the marked trail, and use caution near creek crossings, slick rocks, and the waterfall area.
Trail Notes
Raven Cliff Falls Trail is a popular North Georgia waterfall hike with a longer creekside route through the Chattahoochee National Forest. Plan for several miles of natural-surface hiking, water crossings or damp areas, and busy trailhead conditions on weekends.
Always leave no trace, pack out everything you pack in, and if you see trash, pick it up and pack it out.
Stay on the marked trail, tell someone where you're going, pack safety and wayfinding essentials, and do not rely only on a mobile phone to find your way. Practice good trail etiquette, yield appropriately on shared-use trails, and check the trailhead kiosk, official maps, park office, or ranger office for notices about changed routes, closures, safety information, fees, and restrictions before you go.
