Amicalola Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is a tributary to the Etowah River.[1] Amicalola Falls, a tall waterfall on its course, lends its name to Amicalola Falls State Park.
"Amicalola" is a name derived from the Cherokee language meaning "tumbling waters".[2] Many variant names have been recorded, including "Amakalola Creek", "Amicalola River", "Amicolola Creek", "Armacolola Creek", "Armi Caroli Creek", "Armicalola Creek", and "Ummah Caloloke Creek".
