- 09/11/10 08:14 AM
One of Dawsonville, Georgia's greatest treasures is undoubtedly Amicalola Falls and river. Amicalola is a Cherokee Indian word meaning "tumbling waters," and this view is truly spectacular.

My family started a traditional corn maze and hayride adventure at Uncle Shucks three years ago and it's now an important start to fall for us. We always start with the incredible corn maze, because it can be a doozie! My oldest son has grown to be very good at navigation, so I usually follow him. Last year we toured the Haunted Maze; this adds a very interesting twist on the fun! Next, we enjoy relaxing on the hayride around the maze where we can view beautiful 100+ year old oaks and native North Georgia trees outlining this beautiful … (6 comments)
