Unicoi Hill Park, Helen

Very beautiful little State park. Starts right about from where the North main Street of Helen starts. Entry is free. Perfect for a family picnic or even kids. There are picnic shelters also in the park. It looked unbelievable when there were Christmas lights. It looks stunning at late evenings. The view from the park is also great. Plenty of photoshoots take place during the day in the park. Parking could be an issue, but there are plenty of paid parking options nearby. Overall a great experience. Would surely recommend.

Lovely hidden gem in the heart of Helen! Very nice playground perched on top of a hill. However some of the equipment is in dire need of a few coats of paint, the metal shows through in large spots. Did not see any public restrooms immediately available but there are some about a block or two down the street. The parking lot can't be seen from the main road, you have to turn up a twisty little hill road and the parking is at the top. Do not recommend trying to push a stroller up from the bottom unless you're in excellent shape, the hill is quite steep.

Free parking, nice nature walk, and visit Alana Falls

Small but enjoyable playground that overlooks Helen. Multiple bench swings surrounded the park making it a fine experience even for the parents.

A great little park! There is a playground, a little covered bridge over a waterfall, and a big gazebo overlooking the main square. It is a hill, so you're walking up steps/uphill. A trail to the Unicoi Lodge leads from the back of the parking lot. I feel sure you aren't supposed to park here to explore the town but we did (understanding it was the additional parking for Hofer's and that's where we were headed) and no one stopped us.
