A wet-weather waterfall forming a steep 25-foot slide, Foxtail Falls lies on a small tributary of a stream called Negro Branch, draining the eastern slopes of Grassy Ridge. It can be accessed via a short bushwhack from Grassy Ridge Falls. A small lower falls will be passed just before Foxtail Falls (see photo below).

To learn about more waterfalls in the Clayton area, see chapter 9 in Mark Ozboyd's "Waterfalls of Georgia" guidebook.
