Waterfalls
Oconee County is blessed with glorious waterfalls!
Rushing water surrounded by stunning scenery makes each one a special place to visit.
Area waterfalls are most often in the forest, not conveniently accessible by car. To view the falls you’ll need to hike or, in some cases, they can only be reached by boat access from the lake.
Our suggested waterfall excursions are worth the physical activity or boat ride. You will be rewarded with a picturesque waterfall as the prize when you arrive!
Yellow Branch Falls
CAUTION: This hike has grown in popularity which has caused the trail to become more dangerous. It takes approximately 45 minutes to reach the falls and 45 minutes back out.
Wear shoes with good traction, pack water, and be prepared for pop-up rain storms. No cell service in the forest.
Impressive 60 ft. cascade over rock ledges is a favorite destination for visitors. Hike is 3 miles round trip. CCC era picnic shelter on site. GPS coordinates to the parking area: N 34.80557 W 083.12876
