Waterfall Info: This is the lower of two spectacular waterfalls located on an unnamed creek flowing from the west in the Holcomb Creek headwaters. Best seen in wet weather.
Landowner: Chattahoochee National Forest
Height: 60 Feet
Type: Sheer Drop and Free-Fall (Double-Tier)
County: Rabun
Access Info: This falls is accessed by an off-trail bushwhack from Hale Ridge Road (FS 7). The bushwhack involves navigating cross-country terrain and is not easy. The main guideline is to bushwhack to the base of the falls directly from the knob to the south, rather than following Holcomb Creek and the tributary, because the vegetation there is absolutely impenetrable.
Waterfall Location: 34.980887, -83.288650
