Middle Bear Gap Branch Falls
Waterfall Info: From the bottom, this is the second waterfall on an unnamed tributary of the Coleman River that has been dubbed Bear Gap Branch, as it flows from Bear Gap. Best seen during wet weather.
Landowner: Chattahoochee National Forest (Southern Nantahala Wilderness)
Height: 50 Feet
Type: Free-Fall (Single-Tier)
County: Rabun
Access Info: An old, gated forest road - the continuation of Coleman River Road (FS 54) - leads to Bear Gap Branch. From there, an easy bushwhack upstream along Bear Gap Branch will bring you to the lower falls. Getting to the middle falls farther up will require a tougher scramble and a more difficult bushwhack.
Waterfall Location: 34.987340, -83.513239
