Hurricane Shoals

Waterfall Info: This is a broad set of cascades/shoals in a geographically unusual location on the North Oconee River near I-85 in the vicinity of the town of Commerce. Although I wouldn't necessarily identify this as a waterfall, the location merits its inclusion on this site. The shoals are the focal point of this small but popular county park.
Landowner: Hurricane Shoals Park
Height: 17 Feet
Type: Cascades (Multi-Tier)
County: Jackson
Access Info: No hiking is needed to see this waterfall. The North Oconee River flows directly through the park, and there are multiple parking areas near the top of Hurricane Shoals. A footbridge crosses the river at the top of the shoals.
