recreation: Leatherwood Falls, Hayesville North Carolina - 02/23/08 08:47 PM
North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains have many beautiful waterfalls throughout the northeast counties (Fannin, Union, Towns, Gilmer and Pickens). But I did not know about this waterfall near Hayesville (Clay County) North Carolina called Leatherwood Falls until very recently. My one regret is that the batteries in my camera were dead. But that's ok, because I do plan to visit the Falls again.
Leatherwood Falls are about twenty-five feet high and has a picnic area, metal walk bridge and a paved track along Fires Creek. The recreation area is beautiful and worth a a hike on the trail which wraps arount the Falls. Spend a day … (8 comments)
