Hemlock Falls

Hemlock Falls - Photo by George Cribbs1 / 1

Hemlock Falls is a waterfall located in Rabun County, Georgia. It is located in the Tallulah Ranger District of the Chattahoochee National Forest on Moccasin Creek. The Hemlock Trail is about one mile long, beginning at Moccasin Creek State Park and following an old railroad bed. The falls cascade over a rocky ledge into a clear pool below, surrounded by dense forest and the rich greenery of hemlock trees, from which it gets its name. The area around Hemlock Falls is ideal for capturing the beauty of the waterfall in various seasons, with the changing leaves in autumn providing a colorful backdrop, and the icy formations in winter adding a magical touch. Photographers can find numerous compositions along the trail and around the falls, with opportunities for long exposure shots to capture the silky motion of the water. The relatively easy hike and the tranquil beauty of the falls make it a must-visit location for those looking to add stunning waterfall photographs to their portfolio. Visitors should note that the best light for photography is usually in the morning or late afternoon, and bringing waterproof gear is advisable during wetter months. (Clarkesville, Georgia, USA)
