About Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge
Amicalola Falls State Park & Lodge is an 829-acre (3.35 km2) Georgia state park located between Ellijay and Dahlonega in Dawsonville, Georgia. The park's name is derived from a Cherokee language word meaning "tumbling waters". The park is home to Amicalola Falls, a 729-foot (222 m) waterfall that is the highest in Georgia. However, an analysis conducted by the World Waterfall Data base suggests that the main part of the falls is 429 feet (131 m) in height, followed by a prolonged gently sloping run in which the flow drops another 279 feet (85 m). It is considered to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia.
