Tate Creek (Chestatee River tributary)

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

[1] Tate Creek rises in east-central Lumpkin County, just south of Porter Springs, where State Route 60 turns north and splits from U.S. Route 19, and just inside the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest.

[2] The creek heads south and then east for approximately 1.75 miles, forms Rodgers Lake, and then continues east to pick up Moose Creek from the north.

Departing the national forest, the creek heads east for 1.35 miles, and then joins the Chestatee River just west of Frogtown Road.

[3] The creek watershed and associated waters is designated by the United States Geological Survey as sub-watershed HUC 031300010505, is named the Tate Creek-Chestatee River sub-watershed, drains an area of approximately 31 square miles northwest of Cleveland, and is bisected by the Chestatee River.
