Sylvan Falls

3/15/2013 - while my sister and I were in the Rabun Gap area to get videos of Darnell Falls and the falls above it, we took advantage of being so close and also got a video of Sylvan Falls.

5/14/2011 - went back to get new pictures and GPS points. Had a good look at the dark streak at the break in the falls and it's some kind of iron vessel. Something to do with the old mill, I guess.

According to GMAPS this falls is on Pitt Branch

9/5/2010 - falls is on the grounds of Sylvan Falls Mill. Mr. Anthony lists this falls as Sylvan Mill Falls, but the sign for the B&B says Sylvan Falls Mill.

GPS: 34°55'39"N 83°25'13"W

The mill had the wheel running the same day I got the above video...first time I've seen it running, so I took a video of that too!
