Lake Trahlyta Dam, and Helton Creek Falls

Vogel State Park Lake Dam, also known as Lake Trahlyta Dam, is a 52-foot (16 m) high earthen embankment. The 600-foot (180 m) long dam has a maximum discharge of 2,447 cubic feet (69.3 m) per second. Its capacity is 522 acre feet (644,000 m), although its normal storage is 210 acre feet (260,000 m3). It drains an area of 1,638 acres.
Helton Creek Falls.
The Cherokee name for this part of North Georgia translates roughly into "land of a thousand waterfalls" and Helton Creek has two of the best. The first washes over a thirty foot ledge, cascading to the pool below the falls with a roar that can be heard almost to the road. Returning up the stairs, follow the trail around the right and up a embankment to the second falls. These are tall, full falls that drop at least fifty feet.
