At the north end of Pigeon Mountain, Walden Branch contains a 25-foot sliding waterfall, which is best seen in wet weather. Although the stream is low flow, it's surrounded by lots of interesting karst geology. The waterfall can be accessed via a 0.35-mile off-trail walk upstream from where the Estelle Mines Trail rock hops Walden Branch. The crossing lies just south of the Estelle Mines Road terminus.

To learn about more waterfalls in northwest Georgia, see chapter 1 in Mark Ozboyd's "Waterfalls of Georgia" guidebook.
