Estatoah Falls

Estatoah Falls is a waterfall in northern Georgia that drops approximately 200 feet (60 meters) and can be seen from GA-246 and Kelly's Creek Road. The water flows continuously down the rock face and forms a natural feature of the landscape.

The area around the waterfall was inhabited for generations by indigenous communities who managed the region's natural resources. European settlement later changed how the land was used and accessed.

The name Estatoah comes from Native American language and shows how indigenous peoples remain part of Georgia's geographical identity. Many place names across the region keep these linguistic connections alive today.

The waterfall sits on private property and can only be viewed from designated viewpoints along GA-246 and Kelly's Creek Road. Visitors should respect property boundaries and use the views available from the roadside.

This waterfall is part of a larger water system and connects with Mud Creek Falls, also called Little Estatoah Falls. The two waterfalls together form an interconnected network in the landscape.
