Brasstown Falls

GPS for waterfall: 34.71833, -83.30400

Water source:  Brasstown Creek

Height:  Varies

Brasstown Falls is a series of three drops, which most consider three separate waterfalls:  Cascades, Veil, and Sluice.  The hike is short, but can be treacherous, as there are lots of places to trip or slip.

**UPDATE** As of August 2021, I am excited to share that there has been a new, safe trail built to see these beautiful falls.  Thank you to all the ones responsible for working so hard to get this done!  I’ve included a few pictures of the new trail below.

Parking:  Going west on Highway 76, turn left onto Brasstown Road.  Drive approximately 4 miles and turn right, just before crossing the bridge.  Parking for the falls will be at the end of the road, GPS 34.71915, -83.30167.  This is also the parking area and trailhead for Little Brasstown Falls.

Hike:  The entire hike to Brasstown Falls and Little Brasstown Falls is approximately 1 mile round trip.
