2/22/2014 - went to scout the Forest Service road to Long Creek Falls, and since I was more or less in the area I went to get a videos of Ward Creek Falls. My knees are doing better, but are still not well and I wasn't ready to try to get down and do the lower falls, but at least I did get the falls by the road.
As Mr. Anthony says, this falls (the upper falls) looks bigger in photos than it actually is. It's pretty easy to see from the Forest Service road, in the winter and fall, but in spring and summer it's easy to miss if you don't know where it is.
Directions and Information: from Dahlonega, GA
north on US 19 bypass
left on Camp Wahsega Rd
at Camp Merrill - right on gravel road (FS 80/Coopers Gap Rd)
at top of mountain, right on Forest Service road 42 (FS 42)
falls are 1 mile on left
Note: Camp Wahsega Rd is blocked, at the end, alternately right & left by traffic dividers - to protect the entrance to the camp. Just go around them and then right on the gravel road. Watch your odometer after you turn onto FS 42, the falls might be hard to see in spring & summer
