Horsetrough Falls, Waterfall in Chattahoochee National Forest, Georgia, US
The water at Horsetrough Falls drops 75 feet over granite ledges, forming multiple cascading tiers through the mountainous forest landscape.
The falls mark the beginning of the Chattahoochee River, which travels 500 miles from this point to reach the Gulf of Mexico.
Located within the Mark Trail Wilderness area, the falls represent a central point for nature appreciation and outdoor recreation in North Georgia.
Visitors can reach the falls through a 0.4-mile trail starting at Upper Chattahoochee Campground, with an observation platform available at the destination.
The Eastern Continental Divide follows Horsetrough Mountain's ridge line, determining the water flow direction from an elevation of 3,100 feet.
