Also on Crane Creek, you will find Deadfall FallsProspector FallsYellow Jacket FallsSecret Falls, and Lower Crane Creek Falls.  All of the waterfalls on Crane Creek are extremely difficult to reach (with the exception of Lower Crane Creek Falls), and should not be attempted by anyone who does not have a lot of experience in off-trail hiking and map reading.

One way to reach Crane Creek Falls  and Yellow Jacket Falls is to park along Cheohee Road (or Winding Stairs Road), at 34.92439, -83.08881, and bushwhack to the falls.  It is approximately half a mile one way, give or take, depending on your route.
