Sea Creek Falls is a 35-foot waterfall on Sea Creek in Fannin County, Georgia, within the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest's Brasstown and Cooper Creek management area.
The falls
The creek drops in three tiers, with the tallest step measured at 15 feet; the total height is now put at 35 feet, up from about 25 feet in older data. The Forest Service separately lists the drop at about 30 feet. Sea Creek lies in the Blue Ridge, where mountain streams cut over granite, gneiss and quartzite ledges; a rocky streamcourse here leads past the remains of an old gristmill and past brook trout habitat upstream of the falls.
Getting there
A 0.5-mile out-and-back route reaches the falls from the end of Sea Creek Road, climbing 29 feet. It is a local path rather than an official system trail, and it is not maintained for public access.
When to go
The route is usable year-round.
On site
A shallow pool lies at the base. Wet stretches of trail are slippery, and dogs are allowed on a leash.
