Waterfall Height:
60 feet
Beegum Branch Falls is a multi-tier waterfall in the Corbin Creek gorge, dropping a total of about 60 feet. The waterfall lies along Beegum Branch about 200 feet from the Corbin Creek confluence, just upstream from an old logging road traveling through the Corbin Creek gorge. This old roadbed is often overgrown and difficult to follow, so it's essentially a bushwhack. It is a 1.3-mile hike from the gate at the end of FR 305, a spur from Corbin Creek Road. Although Beegum Branch Falls lies very near the roadbed, there is no trail through the dense rhododendron.
For detailed directions, see page 219 in Mark Ozboyd's "Waterfalls of Georgia" guidebook.
