Ivy Thicket Branch Falls

Chattahoochee National Forest

Union County
Hiawassee, GA

GPS Location:

34.79029, -83.82083

Waterfall Height:

60 feet

Located on Ivy Thicket Branch, a tributary of Stink Creek, Ivy Thicket Branch Falls lies about 0.6 mile upstream from the lower falls on this stream. Squeezed into a slim chute, this 60-foot waterfall lies deep in the Mark Trail Wilderness and requires a long, difficult bushwhack to see. After the path from FR 850 ends at the lower falls, there is no further trail along Ivy Thicket Branch.
