Mud Creek Falls is just one of 17 public waterfalls in Rabun County, although the two RV Gypsies had trouble finding several of the waterfalls, even with the GPS.

Mud Creek Falls is located in the small resort city of Sky Valley, Georgia. Above Mud Creek Falls is Spring Lake. Mud Creek Falls cascades for over 100 feet eventually into Estatoah Falls near Dillard, Georgia. (Estatoah Falls is on private property.)

NO difficult hiking was required to reach Mud Creek Falls because it was just a short, easy walk within 50 - 75 feet from the parking area. On this date, there was a picnic table available first come first serve. The hiking was on an easy, wide path that began at the base of the falls along the stream, but it was not necessary to hike here in order to see the falls.

Below: Just a few feet from Mud Creek Falls, Karen Duquette quickly photographed fall colors along the roadway as Lee drove past. They could not stop in this area because of heavy traffic behind them.
