Adline Branch Falls

Chattahoochee National Forest

Rabun County
Clayton, GA

GPS Location:

Waterfall Height:

25 feet

Adline Branch is a small tributary draining into the Chattooga River Gorge from the east side of Willis Knob. This tributary is home two small waterfalls, with the 25-foot Adline Branch Falls being the lower falls. This is a pretty scenic cascading waterfall, but it's hidden away in a dense rhododendron thicket, making it difficult to attain a clear view of the whole drop. Adline Branch Falls lies just down the hill from the Willis Knob Horse Trail, accessed by a short off-trail scramble down the slope. It can be approached with an easy 0.5-mile hike from Willis Knob Road (FR 157) or from a longer hike along the Chattooga River Trail.
