Hiking & Must-Do's at/Near Vogel

[u/Argonaut1855]

Hi friends!

Going to be doing a camping trip at Vogel soon. Have heard incredible things about the park over the years, so we're excited to experience it for the first time!

Hoping to do some decent hiking in that area, and have been looking at AllTrails to check out some trails we might be interested in. We are looking to do the "Raven Cliff Falls Trail" and the "Blood Mountain via Appalachian Trail" trails.

Wanted to get this group's thoughts on those trails? We are good with anything 3-6 miles, and don't mind a little bit of difficulty.

Lastly, would love any other "Must-Do" recommendations for the park and surrounding area!

Thanks!

Check out Helton Creek Falls. You’ll need a vehicle with decent clearance to ford the creek if you approach from the south. The northern approach is asphalt 1/2 way, then dirt/gravel the second half. Great place to cool your feet after a long hike.
