Len Foote Hike Inn @ Dawsonville, Georgia

Ready to escape to the middle of nowhere? We hear you. Lace-up your hiking boots and trek the 5-mile trail from the top of Amicalola Falls to reach Len Foote Hike Inn, Georgia’s only backcountry lodge. Tucked away in the Chattahoochee National Forest, this secluded, family-friendly inn in Dawsonville has been doing social distancing since 1998!

The five-mile trek through the foothills of North Georgia is just the beginning of a unique experience. A friendly face, a welcoming smile, a warm meal and a soft bed all greet you at trail’s end.
