Odom Creek Falls is an anomalous waterfall located in the low-lying flatlands of South Georgia's coastal plain west of Blakely. This 10-foot waterfall lies along Odom Creek about 0.3 mile from the Chattahoochee River. It tumbles into a unique, miniature limestone canyon with fern-lined bluffs. Although Odom Creek Falls lies just a few hundred feet south of Odom Creek Road, you'd never know it was here. There is no established path to the falls and it can't really be heard from the road. However, it can be reached with an easy off-trail walk through the open woods to the creek.
Unlike the larger Factory Creek Falls a few miles to the north, Odom Creek Falls lies within a small sliver of public land operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers adjacent to the Chattahoochee River. This small greenspace is known as the Odom Creek Public Use Area.
