Waterfalls in Georgia

North Georgia is especially well endowed with cataracts, cascades and waterfalls. Some are viewable from the highways; most require some hiking (possibly strenuous in places) and some seem almost impossible to access. Spring and early Summer - and days immediately following good rains - are the best times to view most of these waterfalls.

 Amicalola Falls - 222 m (729 ft)

Anna Ruby Falls – 47 m (153 ft) on the Curtis Creek side

Cascade Falls - 183 m (600 ft) cascade with 3 drops, the tallest of which is 80 m (262 ft).

Cochrans Falls - 183 m (600 ft) cascade.

DeSoto Falls - the upper falls drop about 200 ft (60 m), the middle falls about 80 ft (24 m) and the lower falls cascade about 20 ft 6 m) [Picture is from Upper Falls]

Dick's Creek Falls - 18 m (60 ft) sheer drop over a granite mound into the Chattooga River

Dukes Creek Falls – 46 m (150 ft)

Estatoah Falls - several hundred feet, exact height not known

Holcomb Creek Falls - 37 m (120 ft)

Minnehaha Falls – 30.5 m (100 ft)

Toccoa Falls – 56 m (186 ft) sheer drop
