Rainy Day on Upper Helton

Upper Helton Creek Falls near Blairsville, Georgia.. Helton Creek Falls are located in Union County, Georgia off of Helton Creek Road. The road itself is pretty rough from either direction but the walk to the falls is very short. The upper falls are approximately 50 ft. high and are a very steep slide with a sizeable plunge pool at the bottom. The lower falls are approximately 30 feet high and cascade off of a relatively gradual slope to a decent size plunge pool at the bottom. (1/5 sec at f/10)
