The DeSoto Falls are located in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Trails lead to 2 different falls on Frogtown Creek. The lower falls is .3 miles downstream from the trail head, the second is .75 miles upstream. According to legend Spanish armor belonging to the Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto or one of his men was found near here which led many to believe that the expedition passed through this region in 1540 in their attempt to find gold. As I history teacher – I can say this is not true.
To reach the falls, turn left at the end of Mountain Cove Rd. Turn left when you dead end at Turner’s Corner. Go 4 miles north up Hwy 129 and the trails will be on the left.

Dicks Creek Falls is located in the Chattahoochee National Forest just below the confluence of the Dicks and Waters Creek.
To reach the falls, turn left out of Mountain Cove Rd. Travel 1 mile and turn left onto Dicks Creek Rd. Keep going until you see the falls on the left. Can’t miss them.:) The falls and the shoals above it are popular for wading and sunning in the summer, however care should be exercised when walking on the slippery rocks.
Another great swimming hole on the same road is Sliding Rock – which is about a mile further up on the right. There is a short hike to it - but it is so much fun to slide down!
