Estatoah Falls

7/6/2013 - with all the heavy rain we've had lately I just HAD to get back and see the falls.  Did the Cullsaja River gorge, Mud Creek Falls in Sky Valley, and this one. 

5/26/2013 - took a trip up US 64 from Franklin, NC along the Cullasaja River valley, then down NC 106/GA 246 past Sky Valley, GA.  Since I was on the road, I stopped and got a video of this falls.  Considering how far away I was and how much zoom I used, it turned out much better than I expected!

5/14/2011 - went back up above Clayton, Ga to revisit some falls and try to find new ones.  Did both Mud Creek Falls and Estatoah Falls as part of the trip.  I noticed as I was driving up GA 246, that shortly after you pass River Vista RV park there is an optical oddity where you can see Estatoah falls directly above the roof of a house and it appears MUCH bigger than it does from either back down the road, or up the road past the house.  I tried to get a picture of the effect, but they didn't turn out - will have to try again.

This falls is on Mud Creek, downstream from Mud Creek Falls

6/27/2010 Drove up to Sky Valley, GA to see Mud Creek Falls.  On the way there is a distant view of Estatoah Falls - which is on private property. 

GPS: 34°59'8"N 83°22'12"W (this is the first place where Estatoah is visible)

 
After heavy rain, July 2013 - forgot to get a still photo!
