Access Info: Park in the large paved pullout along the south side of Highway 52 at 34.742865, -84.710663. Starting from the pullout, an old overgrown roadbed descends along a local ridge southeast toward Chicken Creek. In 0.2 mile, reach a split and take the left fork. The roadbed peters out after another 0.15 mile. Just keep steeply descending off-trail along the ridge through mostly open woods until you arrive at Chicken Creek just below the falls.
