Seasonal Notes
Fording the river is only advised during low
water (late season) conditions, usually late July to November.
Majority of roads into Atlanta close during winter save for one
route which is sketchy at best most winters especially given the
large amount of deaths that occur on this road during the summer
months. |
Camping Notes
Plenty of nearby National Forest campgrounds and primitive sites to choose from. |

Foiled again! There were no pools below the waterfall as I had
hoped, it looks like soaking this one requires a river ford and soak
in the cold river just below the waterfall. Hmmm, maybe during the
warmer season, but not today... too cold.

This 30 foot hot waterfall was a sight for sore eyes. The river was too
high for us to cross and obviously too high to build a pool beneath it.
Visit Pete Creek during late August through October if you are
interested in a soak. Campsites and campgrounds are nearby along with a
bunch of other hot springs.
