Painted Rock Falls is a 20-foot wet-weather waterfall located along a small, unmarked tributary of the Chattahoochee River. It lies 0.2 mile upstream from Undercover Falls, above Chattahoochee River Road near the check station for Chattahoochee WMA. Reaching the falls requires a tough off-trail bushwhack and should only be done after heavy rain.
