Ward Creek falls at Camp Wahsega

10/28/2011 - went up to the Dahlonega area to find the waterfall at Camp Wahsega 4H camp.  This is pretty easy to find, it's about a mile past Camp Frank D. Merrill Ranger Camp.  It's easy to get to too and very pretty.  There's a wooden raceway down from the falls, like a minature mill raceway, that brings some of the water from the falls to fall down on a rock right at the corner of a deck.

This falls is on Ward Creek and is sometimes called Wedding Falls, but more usually it's just called Wahsega Falls.
GPS: 34°37'2"N 84°5'52"W

These 2 photos show the falls and part of the raceway, and then a view from below the deck that shows most of the raceway, and where it comes out at a corner of the deck.
