Cane Creek Falls
Lumpkin County

 

Located on the grounds of Camp Glisson, Cane Creek Falls is open to the public during daylight hours except when camp is in session. You must check into the Visitors Center prior to visiting the falls.

To reach the falls from Dahlonega follow highways Business US19 and GA60 north for 2 miles. Turn left at the sign for Camp Glisson (across from Ace Hardware) and go 1 mile to the parking area near the bottom of the falls. Swimming is not permitted and fishing is permitted on a catch and release basis.

An observation deck at the top of the falls is accessible from a parking area above the falls.
A view of the falls from the observation deck. In years past Cane Creek Falls was a summer playground for residents of Dahlonega. Favorite pastimes were to slide down the falls on the far side or dive from the steep rock bank into the pool at the bottom. Swimming and climbing on the falls is no longer allowed because of safety considerations.
A path along side Cane Creek both above and below the falls is a delight to walk, particularly in spring and summer months.
