The path is paved, mostly shaded, wide and all uphill. It's not a difficult walk for the average person, but the very young and very old might struggle a bit. Toddlers without strollers will be tough. Beautiful waterfalls and clean park. No playground, not much run-around space for little folks. more

It was very beautiful there. But we could not find a playground for are daughter or anything fun to do. It was really crowded there and alot of traffic too. We got pretty lost cause we have not been here before. more

We spent a few days in Unicoi State Park at the "barrel" cabins. They were truly unique. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin. The first floor consisted of a living area, a kitchen, a dining area and the bathroom. The bedrooms were on the second floor. I was happy to find that the cabin was well maintained and meticulously... more

Located a couple miles north of Helen, Ga., USP. In short, this is what you will get: a very peaceful, rustic state park located on a lake in southern Appalachia. In terms of lodging, one can choose between camping, cabins, or the lodge. The cabins are unique and you’ll have to see to believe. The lodge, with walls of quilts,... more

There is a trail to walk to Helen want to go back and do.The lower campground I was not impressed and really did not like its... more

Unicoi State Park is located less than 5 minutes by car from Helen, Geogia. The park is a great place to enjoy a lake side picnic, or even a walk through the woods. There is a small beach, where people can fish and swim, while enjoying the water on a hot sunny day. At the lake, it is also possible... more
