Denton Branch Falls (10 falls)

Denton Branch Falls is down a fairly rough dirt track, but I was able to do it in my little station wagon with a bit of care and going slowly. I parked at the end, at a well-used campsite and hiked the 1/4 mile to the falls. There is a sizable tree down just before the falls, and it's best to stay away from the root end, because there is a yellow-jacket nest there. I was able to cross over the branches end without too much difficulty and the yellow-jackets did not object. This tree has been cut up and moved aside and is no longer a problem.

Directions and Information: from Clayton, GA

• west on US 76
• right on Persimmon Rd
• left on Tallulah River Rd/FS 70 (Mr Anthony says it's 3 miles, but it's actually 4 to FS 70)
• watch for Chapple Ln on right
• right at next road (Mr Anthony says Denton Branch Rd, my map program says Ginando Ln, but the day I was there no sign was visible)

Note: road is rough, drive carefully. There are several wide spots near the beginning if you don't want to drive down it. There is parking also at the end, at a well-used camping spot. Cross creek at this camping spot and follow trail uphill to falls. Just before you get to the falls, there was a sizeable tree down. Cross this tree through the branches, as there is a yellow jacket nest at the root end and the day I was there, some other visitors got stung. The big tree that was across the trail has been cut up and moved aisde, the trail is now clear.
