Cane Creek (Chestatee River tributary)

Cane Creek is a stream in Georgia, and is a tributary of the Chestatee River.

[1] Cane Creek rises in north-central Lumpkin County, less than 2 miles west of the source of Yahoola Creek, and approximately halfway between Suches to the northeast and Dahlonega to the southeast, in the southern portion of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest.

Approximately 1.4 miles further on, Cane Creek picks up an unnamed branch from the north and forms Cane Creek Falls in Camp Glisson, then continues south for another 2 miles before crossing State Route 9/State Route 52 just west of Dahlonega, where it is also joined by Clay Creek.

[3] The creek watershed and associated waters is designated by the United States Geological Survey as sub-watershed HUC 031300010603, is named the Cane Creek sub-watershed, and drains an area of approximately 27 square miles north of Dahlonega.

Clay Creek, which is 7.29 miles (11.73 km) long,[1] and which joins Cane Creek at State Route 9/State Route 52, drains a significant portion of the west of the sub-watershed before joining Cane Creek, and picks up Peggy Branch and Scott Branch, as well as two unnamed branches, along the way.
