15 feet

Jacuzzi Falls is a unique 15-foot waterfall, plunging into a deep punchbowl pool along Dicks Creek near Lake Burton. This particular Dicks Creek should not be confused with two other, better-known Dicks Creek Falls found in Dahlonega and east of Clayton. Jacuzzi Falls gets its name from this unusual pool, which is almost entirely encircled by rock formations. It makes for a fantastic swimming hole, particularly at lower flow levels. Thus, despite the waterfall's small size, it is quite showy. 


Jacuzzi Falls can be accessed by a short, steep bushwhack from Dicks Creek Road (FR 164) down through a rhododendron tangle. Years ago, this road was open to vehicles, but it now appears to be gated. This requires a 1-mile uphill walk along the old road before the brief bushwhack. You may glimpse the waterfall through the trees just before the optimal point to leave the road.
