Dahlonega
From Dahlonega, take State Road 52 west for 19 miles. The entrance to Amicalola Falls State Park is on the right

Ellijay
From Ellijay take State Road 52 east for 20 miles. Be careful at the intersection of Highway 183 and is an unusual triangle that is frequently reworked. The last time we were here, Highway 52 made a left-hand turn, came to a stop sign, then made a second left-hand turn. Follow Highway 52 for just under 1.4 miles. After the road curves right, the entrance to Amicalola Falls is on the left.

Dawsonville
If you are approaching from Atlanta, the easiest way to get to Amicalola is via Dawsonville. From Georgia 400 take State Road 53 west (this is the first traffic light past the Outlet Mall.) Turn left at the stop sign in downtown Dawsonville, circle the historic courthouse and continue to Highway 183. Turn right on Elliott Family Parkway (Highway 183) and continue until it ends at State Road 52. Turn right on GA52. The entrance is on the left after the road curves to the right.
