Stekoa Creek falls

I'm pretty sure these are actually the Stekoa Falls, but since I'm not sure I'll wait until I can confirm that. I was not able to get a very good view of the falls, as the parking area I found is high above them and there is no trail down the very steep sides of the valley to them. From the sound, there might even be 3 or 4 separate falls - but again I couldn't be sure. I did take a picture of the big falls I could see, but because I was above them, it's not very good. I also got a not very good photo of some long shoals above the falls.

It's hard to tell from the photos, but in the falls shot the water is flowing from right to left, and in the shoals photo the water is flowing straight towards the camera, and then bears to the left.
 
 
Directions and Information: From Clayton, GA or Tallulah Falls, GA
  • east on Rickman Airfield Rd
  • where road takes sharp left turn, there is a small parking area on the right, at a "No littering" sign
  • you will hear the falls - which are straight ahead, and steeply down hill
Note: there is a faint trail to the right, but it's short and got rough, so I didn't go very far along it...especially as it appeared to possibly come out above the falls. I did not see any other signs of trails, the falls are in a deep, narrow valley - so it's probably not safe to try to get down to them anyway. If there's a way to walk up the creek to them, I couldn't find it...but further down the road it might be possible to find a way.
