Raven Cliffs Trail Hike

Raven Cliffs Trail is located in Helen, Georgia near the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Raven Cliffs Trailhead is located off Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway. And scenic it is! Richard B. Russell winds around the mountain with several pull-offs for a fantastic vista of the mountains. The trail itself runs through a waterfall-filled valley with six major falls.Trail Length and Surroundings

Raven Cliffs is a 6.6 mile hike (round trip), and gorgeous the entire hike! The trail itself is well kept, fairly flat, with only one rocky spot that might get slippery. One of our favorite parts about the Raven Cliffs trail is that the creek runs right beside most it. So the majority of the hike is accompanied by the peaceful sound of water running over rock.

Hike Level and Recommendations

The Raven Cliffs hike is fairly moderate. There are no really steep inclines, and it doesnât start to ascend until you near the end. Though it is a moderate hike, make sure to bring water and a snack, maybe even lunch! We recommend wearing hiking boots and using a walking stick or walking pole. On this particular hike, we found it is easier to use one pole rather than two!
