Potato Creek Falls

12/23/2012 - took a long drive down to west of Thomaston to find this falls that I saw mentioned on a kayaking paddlers page.  Not really a big falls.  Just a small one at the top of the complex, but this is on the Fall Line - same as High Falls.  High Falls is awe enspiring because it's a steeper fall and a greater volume of water, but I found this one awe inspiring in it's own way.  It's hard to tell from the photos, but the three after the small waterfall that is at the tops, are just a thin sheen of water over an immense expanse of rock.  The pictures don't really do it justice!

The GPS point was taken from above the deck that is visible in the lower right corner of the first photo.

GPS: 32.87739°N 84.37582°W




Directions and information: from Thomaston, GA
west on GA Hwy 36
about 3.25 mi. fr. Thomaston
stop on west side of first big bridge,

Note: you can't actually see the falls from the bridge, just the brink where the water goes over.  The best view is down a private driveway, just past where the drive turns away from the creek.  I suggest parking up by the bridge, and walk down the drive to see the falls.  I did see a deck down close to the creek, but couldn't see steps or a pathway to it, so I didn't try.  I didn't see any "Posted" signs, but please be respectful and remember that this IS private land.
