Things to do in Helen, Georgia
Helen was born as a town involved with the outdoors, and today the largest
attraction is still the outdoors. Two Georgia State Parks are within a few miles. Unicoi
Lodge is a state-run hotel and conference center that is within walking distance of the
city. In fact, a trail (the Unicoi to Helen trail) runs from the gazebo in downtown right
past the lodge and on to Unicoi Lake. The facility offers camping and day use areas
as well.
Just north of the park are beautiful Anna Ruby Falls. This rare double falls is a fun
hike for the entire family. The path is paved, so its okay to bring a stroller. Anna Ruby
Falls are formed in the Tray Mountain Wilderness, a 9,700 acre playground for
outdoorsmen. The area offers fishing, hiking, and scenic beauty that is beyond
description. Unfortunately, access to the area is limited to those people with a
four-wheel drive vehicle or a jeep because of the rough terrain and steep roads.

Northwest of the city is Smithgall Woods, Georgia's newest state park. Helen's
second major conference center is here. State Road 348, known by a number of
names but most commonly called the Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway offers a
drive through the mountains that is unrivaled for its beauty and accessibility. Along
this road are two excellent hiking trails, Duke's Creek.
The Chattahoochee River runs through downtown Helen and offers many
recreational opportunities including fishing, kayaking, tubing, and canoeing (south
of the city only). In downtown Helen some of the local restaurants have decks over
the rivers.
Two developed attractions in the city are available. The Gold Mines of Helen
feature a tour of the mine, gold panning, and a nature walk (call 706.878.3052 for
additional information). The Museum of the Hills offers a look at Helen's original
inhabitants and recreates fairy tales and nursery rhymes for the kids
(706.878.3140).
The true attraction to Helen is the festivals, and the premium festival is
Oktoberfest, a six-week party that runs from mid-September to early November.
Other major event is the Helen-to-Atlantic Balloon Race and Alpen Lights, a
Christmas festival.
