Mud Creek (Chattahoochee River tributary)

Mud Creek is a stream in Habersham and Hall counties in Georgia, USA, and is a tributary of the Chattahoochee River.

[2] Both forks run east-northeast for approximately 3 miles, cross US 23 in the process, and meet just south of State Route 105 to become Mud Creek.

The creek heads toward State Route 384 for approximately 2 miles, crosses that state route, and continues in the direction of Hall County for several additional miles, picking up Perkins Branch, Wooten Branch, and several unnamed branches, all from the north.

Shortly after crossing into Hall County, Mud Creek is joined by Little Mud Creek, which rises just south of Cornelia, parallels Mud Creek to the southeast for the entire journey through Habersham County, and drains the southeastern half of the watershed.

[3] The creek watershed and associated waters are designated by the United States Geological Survey as sub-watershed HUC 031300010303, named the Mud Creek sub-watershed, and drain an area of approximately 39 square miles from just west of Cornelia to north of Lula, and south of the Chattahoochee River.
