Waterfall Height:

35 feet

Upper Anthony's Falls is a cluttered 35-foot waterfall on an unnamed tributary of Devils Branch, flowing from the northeast from the slopes of Billy Mountain. It lies upstream from the more beautiful Anthony's Falls, which is christened in the honor of Jack Anthony, a pioneer in Georgia waterfall exploration. For many years, Jack Anthony's distinguished website was the go-to resource on all things waterfall in North Georgia, until the site's information became too outdated and it was eventually taken offline. Jack Anthony is the author of two coffee table photography books with directions to waterfalls and scenic landscapes across the North Georgia mountains.


A well-defined trail follows an old logging road from Devils Branch Road, starting at a gap between Devils Branch and Little Creek. The trail passes within 200 feet of Upper Anthony's Falls, which is located a short bushwhack above the trail.
