I'm considering a section from approach trail to dicks creek and was wondering if there is a safe place at dicks creek to leave my car so I can hike to it?

Someone else will probably know more about this than me (I was only ever there once, after all, and I'm not a local), but I would consider leaving the car in town in Hiawassee, maybe at the Budget Inn or something. You can probably arrange a free shuttle, or just hitch, into town once you get down into Dicks Creek Gap. Just a thought.
I would not. Its on a major Hwy. I would worry about it, enough that it would take away a lot of the fun. Much better to park at Amacolola Falls.

I've left my car safely at Dick's Creek dozens of times. Not more than three days. Any longer and I would heed the above advise. :)
We are planning the same section hike. Our plan is to leave the car at AFSP and catch a shuttle back from Dick's Creek.

Check with Gary and Lennie Poteet at the Blueberry Patch hostel. It's about 6 miles down the highway from Dick's Creek Gap toward Hiawassee. They may let you park there and shuttle you to the AT at the gap.
I'm sure Ron Haven would have some great suggestions too, if you contact him. He is a member here.
Joyce Monroe & Sally Smith - shuttle service.
Parked at their place; they live close to Dicks Creek Gap.

I used them twice, with excellent service both times.

I will be leaving my car at the Hiker Hostel, shuttling to the approach trail and hiking to Dicks Creek, and they will shuttle me back
