Upper Falls
The four falls on Fall Creek are in the Wildcat Tract of Dawson Forest. The highest part of the trails in the Wildcat Tract is the beginning of the Tobacco Pouch Trail, accessed from Monument Road. The lowest part of the trail is the Wildcat Campground on the Amicalola River. The total elevation change is almost 1400 feet. From Monument Road, follow the Tobacco Pouch Trail for 0.3 miles to the junction with Rocky Ford Trail at the sign. Turn left onto the Fall Creek Trail and go downhill for about .6 miles to Fall Creek. Follow the creek downstream for about .3 miles to the creek crossing. The first falls will be on the right soon after crossing the creek and is a continuous cascade for several hundred feet. It is difficult to get close to because of the thick undergrowth.
