In this video, I hike at High Falls State Park to explore the forgotten Ghost Town and Georgia's (USA) unluckiest city called High Falls. I also check out Middle Georgia's largest waterfall!

Once a prosperous city, it was abandoned in 1880 due to a train bypassing it for Jackso, then flooded in 1994. Also, parts were burned in the civil war.

High Falls State Park is a 1,050-acre (4.2 km2) state park located near the city of Jackson in Monroe County, Georgia. It is the site of a prosperous 19th-century industrial center, which became a ghost town when it was bypassed by the railroad.[1] The park contains the largest waterfall in middle Georgia and a 650-acre (2.6 km2) lake.


History
In the early 19th century, the park's land was a prosperous industrial town with several stores, a grist mill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, and shoe factory. However, the town, called High Falls, became a ghost town in the 1880s when it was bypassed by a major railroad. The remains of the bridge on Old Alabama Road still partially stand to offer views of the shoals below the dam. The bridge, constructed in 1890, was mostly destroyed in the flood of 1994. The park's trails offer visitors scenic views of the largest waterfall in middle Georgia on the Towaliga River, cascading over 135 feet (41 m) to the base. Historic hikes lead to the foundation of the old grist mill and ruins of the old powerhouse. The park contains a 650-acre (2.6 km2) lake.

The park is open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and the office is open from 8 p.m. until 5 p.m. The park is free for the community, parking is $5 and there are annual passes that can be purchased. The address to easily get to the park using your GPS is 76 High Falls Park Drive, Jackson, Georgia, 30233.
