点评:Swimming at the base of a waterfall was something my (adult) son always wanted to do and Helton Creek Falls did not disappoint. We took 2 cars for our family (both SUVs, which are necessary) and yes it's a narrow dirt road and you have to cross a creek in 2 different spots. We arrived around 10 AM on a Friday in the summer, and parking was full by the time we left at 12:30 - so go early.
Our family included 2 young children, 2 30-somethings and 2 60-somethings and the short hike to the falls was manageable for all of us.
The falls itself is absolutely stunning and swimming at the base of it was magical. Best to wear water shoes, as the rocks can be slippery. There is also a lower area you can swim.
It was the highlight of our trip to the Georgia mountains!!
翻译:在瀑布底部游泳是我(已成年)儿子一直想做的事情,而赫尔顿溪瀑布(Helton Creek Falls)没有让我失望。我们一家开了两辆车(都是SUV,这是必须的),没错,这是一条狭窄的土路,你必须在两个不同的地方过溪。我们夏天的一个周五上午10点左右到达,到12:30离开时,停车场已经满了——所以要早点去。
我们一家包括两个小孩、两个30多岁的老人和两个60多岁的老人,到瀑布的短途徒步对我们所有人来说都很容易。
瀑布本身绝对令人叹为观止,在瀑布底部游泳更是妙不可言。最好穿水鞋,因为岩石可能很滑。瀑布下还有一个较低的区域可以游泳。
这是我们佐治亚山区之旅的亮点!!
