Dukes Creek

Dukes Creek is a waterfall in Chattahoochee National Forest that descends through a granite canyon in multiple cascading tiers. Wooden observation platforms positioned along the trail allow visitors to see the various water levels as they flow downstream.

The waterfall sits within a national forest established in the 1930s as part of a federal program to protect natural resources. This protected area was created during a period when conservation became a priority of federal policy.

Rangers conduct educational programs at the site to teach visitors about local ecosystems, wildlife conservation, and environmental stewardship.

The site features paved walkways, accessible viewing platforms, and parking areas for daytime visits. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and prepare for wet and slippery conditions, especially after rain.

Where Davis Creek meets Dukes Creek, multiple waterfalls occur in quick succession. The wet environment with mossy rocks creates a particularly lush and living forest habitat that stands out from surrounding areas.
