Covert Cove Falls

Swallow Creek Wildlife Management Area

Towns County
Helen, GA

GPS Location:

Waterfall Height:

40 feet

Located on a small eastern tributary of High Shoals Creek, Covert Cove Falls is a cluttered, wet-weather waterfall about 40 feet high. It requires a long, difficult bushwhack to access no matter how you approach it. Due to all the debris laying on the falls, this one is mainly for hardcore waterfallers.
