The forest surrounding this waterfall was established in 1936 to protect the southern Appalachian landscape. This area has long been important for maintaining the region's water systems.
The Bartram Trail, which intersects near Dick's Creek Falls, follows the path of naturalist William Bartram who documented the flora and fauna in 1773.
Access is via a short hike from Sandy Ford Road, passing through forest paths and crossing small streams. The trail can be wet and slippery, especially after rain.
The Chattooga River, where this waterfall flows into, is one of the few remaining undammed rivers in the southeastern United States. The free-flowing water supports native fish species and wildlife that depend on these natural systems.
