      Anna Ruby Falls
      Anna Ruby Falls lies in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest
      and is an invigorating 30-minute walk from the accessible parking
      lot. Anna Ruby Falls marks the junction of Curtis and York Creeks.
      Curtis Creek drops 153 feet and York Creek 50 feet to form the twin
      waterfalls known as Anna Ruby Falls.

      A paved 0.4-mile footpath leads from the parking lot to the base of
      the falls. Walking is easy to moderate, although a steep incline occurs
      in spots. Benches are provided along the way. Walking shoes are
      recommended since the trail can be wet and slippery.
