This trail is a few hundred yards from our unit. Walks along the river following the old railroad tracks. There is local history information along the trail. Also any amazing view of Nora Mill dam can be seen. This trail is the easiest one in the area. Trail is paved with a parking lot.

Råd om byen

Slik kommer du deg rundt

Parking in helen

Parking can sometimes be impossible in downtown helen, I recommend either getting to town early, walking, or paying to park. (There is free parking available near big daddy’s and the hayloft which are close to downtown)
Måter å spare på

Bring your 32oz beer mugs with you!

All of the bars and restaurants in town offer a discounted “refill cost” for the 32oz mug! If you drink a lot of beer, like I do, it can save you a few bucks.
Reise med barn

Helen train ride and mountain coaster

On the weekends, the small train (trolly) takes passengers all through the town. It’s marketed towards children and I always see smiles coming from the people riding the train. The mountain coaster is another attraction I would highly recommend, lines can sometimes be long but worth the wait!

Tubing on the river

During the warm months, tubing is open on the river running through Helen. It’s a great experience to bring the kids and enjoy the day outside. The tubing headquarters are located just down the hill from our space and can be easily walked to.
