Southeastern Waterfalls

Mountain Oasis

Spring at Minnehaha Falls with mountain laurel blooming near the top. Minnehaha Falls are on Falls Branch between its headwaters on Stony Mountain and where it empties into Lake Rabun. They are approximately 100 ft. high, and arguably the most beautiful waterfall in North Georgia. It is easily accessible off Bear Gap Road near Lake Rabun in the town of Lakemont. One of the interesting features of Minnehaha is the bed of quartz at the foot of the falls. (3.2 sec at f/16, ISO 50)
