Shoal Branch falls

This falls is in the 18 Waterfalls in One Day - hike and drive, see the link on the right
4/12/2013 - on my way to video the falls on Wildcat Rd, near Lake Burton, I stopped and got better videos of these falls.

1/20/2013 - got a late start, so I set out to drive up Hwy 197 to "The Mark of The Potter" and get videos of the 5 waterfalls along that stretch.  We had a week of rain just before, so the falls were really full!

According to GMAPS these are on Shoal Branch

4/2/2011 - had a long day of waterfalling, and came home via 197. Saw 2 waterfalls I've missed before. These are on a side creek that flows into the Soque River very close to the road. They are at a "watersplash" crossing. The water today was flowing under the road, but when there is a lot of rain the water comes over the top of the road. since this was split by the road, I counted it as 2 falls.
