Upper Yeti Falls
Photo by Mark Oleg
Waterfall Info: This scenic waterfall is the third falls on an unnamed tributary of Emery Creek that flows down from Little Bald Mountain and eventually joins Emery Creek just below Emery Creek Falls.
Landowner: Chattahoochee National Forest (Cohutta Wildlife Management Area)
Height: 35 Feet
Type: Double Sheer Drop and Cascade (Triple-Tier)
County: Murray
Access Info: There are two ways to reach Upper Yeti Falls. One is to bushwhack from Emery Creek Falls to Yeti Falls, and then keep bushwhacking up the stream valley past Sidewinder Falls to Upper Yeti Falls. This is the best way to see all the scenic water features on this stream, but keep in mind it will be a significantly harder and longer bushwhack than just going for the quick trip to Yeti Falls. A longer but easier way to see Upper Yeti Falls is keep following the Emery Creek Trail past Emery Creek Falls until it intersects an old ATV trail (visible well on Google Earth and shown on some maps). You can then turn left on the ATV trail and follow it as it passes just above Upper Yeti Falls, where it's a short bushwhack scramble to the base.
