Crenshaw Branch Falls is one of Georgia's least known waterfalls located directly along an official hiking trail, the Pinhoti Trail. This 30-foot sliding waterfall offers lots of solitude and a scenic creekside hike with several wet crossings. To access Crenshaw Branch Falls, follow the Pinhoti Trail jointly with Mountaintown Creek Trail for 1.7 miles southward from FR 64. Just before the falls, you'll pass a small cascade sometimes called Upper Crenshaw Branch Falls.
