Lake Russell Wildlife Management Area

Habersham County
Cornelia, GA

GPS Location:

34.51403, -83.44944

Waterfall Height:

35 feet

Tumbling Rock Falls is a scenic 35-foot waterfall on a small tributary of the Middle Fork Broad River, characterized by a partial free-fall amid large boulders. Although best seen in wet weather, Tumbling Rock Falls is picturesque under the right conditions. The waterfall is located about a mile southwest of Heavenly Falls and the Browns Bottom area. 


Tumbling Rock Falls is reached via an unmarked trail starting at a streamside campsite along Browns Bottom Road (FR 92B). It is a 0.2-mile uphill hike to the falls. You'll have to do a bit of scrambling or light bushwhacking to attain proper close-up views of the falls.
