5/26/2013 - made a day of it and drove up the Cullsaja Valley (US 64) to Highlands, NC...then down NC 106/GA 246 past Sky Valley. Since I was there, I stopped and got a video of the 2 falls at Mud Creek Falls.
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 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.
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. Mud Creek Falls is on the grounds of the Sky Valley golf course - behind the golf shop, on Tahoe Lane. The lane
GPS: 34°59'0"N 83°20'0"W
After heavy rain, July 2013
This second falls is a small one the is, or at least was on this day, behind a picnic table on the left as you walk down towards Mud Creek Falls.
Directions and Information: from Dillard, Ga
- north on US 23/US441
