Buckeye Branch Falls
Chattahoochee National Forest
Rabun County
Clayton, GA
GPS Location:
34.85164, -83.26802
Waterfall Height:
25 feet
Buckeye Branch tumbles into the Chattooga River gorge several miles northeast of Bull Sluice, forming a long but unimpressive waterfall along the way. It's covered in heavy debris, with only the lower 12 feet being open, and requires a bushwhack to reach. To get there, drive to the cul-de-sac at the end of FR 9 (Lick Log Creek Road). Hike the Licklog Trail to the Chattooga River Trail. Then, turn left and go another 0.4 mile to a wooden footbridge over Buckeye Branch. Buckeye Branch Falls lies off-trail, about 0.15 mile upstream.
For detailed directions, see page 387 in Mark Ozboyd's "Waterfalls of Georgia" guidebook.
