Spectacular Anna Ruby Falls lies in the heart of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and has become one of North Georgia’s premier spots to visit. A rare double waterfall, Anna Ruby Falls is formed by two creeks – Curtis Creek and York Creek — coming together to form Smith Creek at the base of the falls. A 0.8mi (round-trip), paved hiking trail along Smith Creek takes visitors to viewing areas at the base of the falls. The Recreation Area consists of a visitor center, gift shop, and picnic areas. Throughout the year, the Visitor Center hosts public programs and activities ranging from stargazing to viewing the Foxfire – a bioluminescent insect larva that glows in the dark!   Anna Ruby Falls Visitor Center & Recreation Area operates year-round; however, hours may vary by season. During the main operating season, the site is open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the last ticket sale at 5:00 PM. During the winter season, hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the last ticket sold at 4:00 PM. Admission of $6 is required for visitors ages 16 and older. Children 15 and younger are admitted free. Because hours, last ticket sales, weather conditions, holiday closures, and available services may change, visitors should check current information before planning their trip. Anna Ruby Falls is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
