For the Hikers...

The Appalachian Trail winds its way near Hiawassee. Two highway crossings lie just about eight miles from the center of town. It is an excellent hike between the two crossings for an overnight stay atop Tray Mountain.

High Shoals Falls is located in the High Shoals Falls Scenic Area and it stands up to its name. The hike is a mile in and a mile out and is an easy to moderate hike. It is a truly beautiful and seemingly remote area. It is suitable for the family but care should be taken on the trails with young children.
