Helen, GA

GPS Location:

Upper Wilks Creek Falls is the first of three waterfalls along Wilks Creek, a major tributary of the upper Chattahoochee River. It is the only of the three drops that remains visible from the side of Chattahoochee River Road (FR 44). However, the roadside view is partly obstructed. Reaching the bottom requires a precarious scramble with no clear path.
