Fifth Falls on Blood Mountain Creek
Photo by Renee Hattenstein
Waterfall Info: This is the fifth and uppermost waterfall on Blood Mountain Creek. It's a very unique wet-weather waterfall, located far up in the watershed. Two forks of Blood Mountain Creek come together over two separate cliffs here, each forming a separate waterfall. You may see some references that it is the 1st waterfall on the creek, which is correct only if one is counting from the top.
Landowner: Chattahoochee National Forest (Blood Mountain Wilderness)
Height: 100 Feet
Type: Slide & Sheer Drop (Double-Tier)
County: Lumpkin
Access Info: There are two ways to access Fifth Falls. The first way is a steep bushwhack down from the Freeman Trail. The second way is to continue up from Frogface Falls by scrambling up the west side of the creek and then bushwhacking upstream for about 0.3 miles. Both approaches are difficult.
