Flat Creek (Chattahoochee River tributary)

Flat Creek is a stream in White and Hall counties in Georgia, and is a tributary of the Chattahoochee River.

[1] Flat Creek rises just inside White County, Georgia at its border with Hall County, northeast of Clermont, under 3 miles west of the confluence of Mossy Creek and the Chattahoochee River, and about 1 mile east of State Route 254.

[2] The creek flows initially in a southwesterly direction, then turns sharply south at its meeting with two unnamed branches, which also originate just inside White County.

Heading to the southeast for approximately 5 miles, Flat Creek picks up other unnamed branches, and turn sharply to the east, just before joining the Chattahoochee River just west of U.S. Route 23, and just south of where State Route 52 crosses the river, in the northeasternmost branch of Lake Lanier.

[3] The creek watershed and associated waters is designated by the United States Geological Survey as sub-watershed HUC 031300010304, is named the Flat Creek-Chattahoochee River sub-watershed, and drains an area of approximately 47 square miles from northeast of Clermont to northwest of Lula, and north of the Chattahoochee River.
