Waterfalls of North Georgia By Jack Anthony Binding: Hardback Pub. Date: 2006 Regular Price: $34.95 YOUR SPECIAL PRICE: $31.50 "Through 150 color images, photographer Jack Anthony has captured the beauty of 100 waterfalls of north Georgia, a region that stretches from Lookout Mountain in the west to the Chattooga River in the east. High average rainfalls totaling over 50 inches to almost 80 inches a year in the northeast corner of the state, combined with the heights of the southern Appalachians, provide ideal conditions for creation of these numerous and beautiful waterfalls. While many of the waterfalls require some effort to reach, Jack’s images enable you to engage in virtual tours of your own to these remarkable wonders of nature. Jack visits these waterfalls, in all seasons & varied weather conditions. 
Begin the tour with waterfalls of Rabun County, where rugged mountains and extensive rainfall spawn West Fork of National Wild & Scenic Chattooga River. From there, experience the power of multiple waterfalls in Tallulah Gorge State Park. Towns, Habersham and Stephens Counties are home to a number of popular falls, most notably, Toccoa Falls, Panther Creek Falls and the waterfalls in the High Shoals Scenic Area. From the mountainsides of White County come tumbling the waters of Anna Ruby Falls, Dukes Creek Falls, Dodd Creek and Raven Cliffs Falls. Nearby, the national forest surrounds and protects several more interesting falls, including the waterfalls on Helton Creek in Union County and DeSoto Falls in Lumpkin County. At Amicalola Falls State Park in Dawson County the long drop of Amicalola Falls makes it one of the most visited in the state. The waterfalls in Gilmer, Fannin & Murray Counties include Long Creek Falls on the Appalachian Trail near the trail’s southern terminus, Jack’s River Falls in the Cohutta Wilderness waterfalls on Mill Creek, and Falls Branch Falls on Benton MacKaye Trail. Although rainfall in Walker & Dade Counties is not as great as in eastern parts, in the wetter seasons the high waterfalls of Cloudland Canyon State Park & Lula Falls make a fitting end to this photographic tour of these north Georgia wonders of nature. To plan a real tour of these waterfalls, the last section has directions with GPS coordinates to aid locating the waterfalls on a topographic map." |
