Located on private land along Long Branch, Shady Falls is a 20-foot waterfall dropping directly into Blue Ridge Lake. The waterfall is surrounded by numerous private homes, so don't even think about attempting to see it from land. However, I have included GPS coordinates because people often view the falls from the water, by boat. Blue Ridge Boat Charters offers personalized cruises to Shady Falls.

To learn about more waterfalls in the Blue Ridge area, see chapters 2 and 4 in Mark Ozboyd's "Waterfalls of Georgia" guidebook.
