Falls at Bad Branch


These pretty little falls were a little difficult to find. They are near Lake Seed but the trail that leads to them is not marked and though the guide book notes a pull-out for parking, we think that's a bit of a generous description. There is a camping/recreation area run by Georgia Power a bit further up the road. Directions to the falls are here.

It's a short hike up a gradual incline to the falls, not too steep but a little rocky. It looks like a few trees fell not too long ago right near the base of the falls, so it's a bit tricky to make your way around the area. You almost have to get right up to the water to get a clear view of the falls through the brush.

It was an uneventful hike for us and the kids had fun skipping rocks and splashing in the water once we got there. It was near the end of our day but the charm of walking around the little stream was not lost. We made them keep their shoes on this time though.
