| dbo:abstract | The waterfalls of northern Georgia, U.S., are a prominent feature of the geography of that region, as well as a major focus of tourism and outdoor recreation. Many are located in state parks, national forests, wildlife management areas, and other public lands. Many are accessible—with varying degrees of ease or difficulty—via established hiking trails, and some developed areas include boardwalks, observation platforms, picnic areas, and other amenities. The Cherokee called this region "Land of a Thousand Waterfalls". The third-, fourth-, and fifth-highest waterfalls in the eastern United States are located in northern Georgia. In this discussion, North Georgia refers to the mountainous regions of the extreme northern portion of the state, an area including Banks, Dade, Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer, Habersham, Lumpkin, Murray, Pickens, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, Walker, and White Counties. There are, of course, waterfalls in other sections of the state; however, due to variations in both climate and terrain they are most abundant and most dramatic in the extreme north. (en) As cachoeiras do norte da Geórgia, nos Estados Unidos, são uma característica proeminente da geografia daquela região, assim como um importante foco de turismo e recreação ao ar livre. Muitas estão localizadas em parques estaduais, florestas nacionais, áreas de manejo da vida selvagem e outras terras públicas. Muitas são acessíveis - com vários graus de facilidade ou dificuldade - por meio de trilhas estabelecidas para caminhadas, e algumas áreas desenvolvidas incluem calçadões, plataformas de observação, áreas de piquenique e outras facilidades. Os Cherokee chamam essa região de "Terra das Mil Cachoeiras". A terceira, quarta e quinta cachoeiras mais altas do leste dos Estados Unidos estão localizadas no norte da Geórgia. Nesta discussão, North Georgia se refere às regiões montanhosas do extremo norte do estado, uma área que inclui Banks, Dade, Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer, Habersham, Lumpkin, Murray, Pickens, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, Walker e condados de White . É claro que existem cachoeiras em outras partes do estado; no entanto, devido às variações no clima e no terreno, elas são mais abundantes e surpreendentes no extremo norte. Cachoeiras localizadas em propriedade privada e, portanto, inacessíveis ao público são descritas como tal ou marcadas (NA) . É responsabilidade do visitante respeitar e honrar os direitos dos proprietários privados. Os mapas, coordenadas e descrições apresentados aqui têm como objetivo fornecer apenas localizações aproximadas ou relativas. Inúmeras publicações e recursos online estão disponíveis para aqueles que desejam visitar esses sites, tanto a pé quanto de veículo. Como muitos desses locais permanecem em um estado relativamente selvagem, deve-se ter cuidado o tempo todo. (pt) |
