Long Branch (Chestatee River tributary)

Long Branch is a stream in Georgia, and is a tributary of the Chestatee River.

[1] Long Branch rises in southeastern Lumpkin County, just south of the intersection of State Route 52 and State Route 115, east of Dahlonega.

[2] The creek heads southwest in an almost completely straight line parallel to and immediately adjacent to State Route 115, which is named Long Branch Road from its crossing with the Chestatee River to its terminus at U.S. Route 19.

Long Branch picks up two unnamed branches from the east on its way to the Chestatee, and joins the river at the intersection of U.S. Route 19/State Route 60/State Route 115 south of Dahlonega, where US 19/SR 60 curve to the west to head to Dahlonega, and SR 155/Long Branch Road heads northeast.

[3] The creek watershed and associated waters is designated by the United States Geological Survey as sub-watershed HUC 031300010604, is named the Long Branch-Chestatee River sub-watershed, and drains an area of approximately 15 square miles southeast and south of Dahlonega.
