High Shoals Scenic Area — photo spot in Entrance road @Indian Grave Gap #283, GA-75, Hiawassee, GA 30546, USA

High Shoals Scenic Area
Score4.0High Shoals Scenic Area features a rocky gorge and multi-tiered falls on the Chestatee River — great for long-exposure water shots, textured rock foregrounds, and autumn foliage. Best visited after rain for fuller cascades, at sunrise or late afternoon for soft side light. Short, well-marked trails and a small USFS parking area off Indian Grave Gap (GA‑75); trails can be slippery—wear boots. Weekdays reduce crowds. No formal entry fee, but check seasonal closures.
