US 129 falls

4/8/2011 - as I was driving home from driving up Dicks Creek, in Lumpkin County, to get new pictures, I just happened - literally - to notice a small, sliding falls right beside the road on US 129.  As many times as I've been up and down this road, I can't believe I never saw this before!  It's not too difficult to bushwhack down to the branch below the falls to get a better view, but the verge is narrow here and you have to just pull over as far as you can.

GMAPS does not show a name for this branch, but it flows into another unnamed creek that flows into the Chestatee River

GPS: 34°39'51"N 83°52'59"W


Directions and Information:  from Cleveland, GA
  • north on US 129
  • about 3/4 mile past White County line
  • falls is on the left
Note: going north on US 129 this falls may not be visible from the road.  If you get to the cafe at Turner's Corner you've gone too far.  From Turner's Corner the falls is about 1.2 mi south on US 129 and is on the right.
