Brasstown Creek
River DescriptionJust a series of 4 or 5 REALLY BIG waterfalls.
They have all been run. Look for Overflow Creek to be high before Brasstown is running. The usual routine is to run the falls then hike back up to the cars at the put-in. The final two miles to the lake are pretty flat. There is good road access where the creek hits the lake.

I hiked this section today...there was no water but we measured the falls and checked the landing zone...The vertical falls is not 30 feet but 22 feet. And it has rocks that are pretty close to the landing zone..the landing zone was about 4 feet to 6 feet deep. the farther away from the lip the deeper. This thing drops over a hundred feet in a little over the distance of a football field...it is steep.
