Helen's natural wonders

If you happen to be visiting in Spring and you love the outdoors, then the Unicoi State Park & Lodge is a must-see. The park boasts one thousand acres of mountain forests as well as stunning lakes and breathtaking waterfalls. Hiking, fly fishing, and biking are but a few of the activities you can do here. Or you can simply sit, relax, and take in the beauty of the nature that surrounds you.

If you are visiting any of Helen's nature parks, make sure to inform your motor coach services provider about it so they can include it in your itinerary, and they can determine the best routes that will take you there.
