About 15 feet high, York Falls is a picturesque, broad waterfall stretching across a tributary of Chickamauga Creek to the east of Helen. The waterfall is not accessible to the public, for it is located inside the private, gated Skylake Community. A well-maintained hiking trail for residents and guests leads to the falls.

To learn about more waterfalls in the Helen area, see chapter 6 in Mark Ozboyd's "Waterfalls of Georgia" guidebook.
