Waterfall Height:
60 feet
Paradise Cove Falls is a series of wet-weather waterfalls found on a tributary in the headwaters of Shook Branch, which in turn is a tributary of Dicks Creek near Lake Burton. The biggest waterfall is about 60 feet high, and a couple of smaller waterfalls lie just below, seen along the approach. These waterfalls are located off-trail in steep terrain. From the gated Dicks Creek Road (FR 164), an old logging road follows the north side of Shook Branch to the tributary confluence, after which it's pure bushwhack to the falls. This is best seen after heavy rain.
To learn about more waterfalls in the Clayton area, see chapter 9 in Mark Ozboyd's "Waterfalls of Georgia" guidebook.
