Anna Ruby Falls

One of the crown jewels of the vast Chattahoochee National Forest, Anna Ruby Falls is actually the junction of Curtis and York Creeks as it forms Smith Creek. With a drop of 153 feet, the stunning twin falls are accessible via a paved 0.4-mile footpath from the visitor center to the base of the falls. For more of a challenge, try the 4.6-mile Smith Creek Trail, which leads from the base of Anna Ruby Falls to Unicoi State Park.

Augusta Riverwalk

The well-maintained pathways of the Riverwalk (between 5th and 10th Streets) curve along the Savannah River and are the perfect place for a leisurely stroll. The upper brick portion connects downtown attractions like St. Paul's Church and the Morris Museum of Art. There are a few shops and restaurants along the way, but not as many as you might expect. On Saturday mornings between April and November, look out for the Augusta Market at the 8th Street Plaza. The lower paths offer a close-up view of wildlife and a peek at the graceful homes of North Augusta, South Carolina.
