It's on the Jack's River in the Cohutta Wilderness north of Chatsworth. That's all I can help you with. Call the Forest Service in Chatsworth. The number is 706-695-6736.

I couldn't tell you about cliff diving, I normally wouldn't even use the two words together in a sentence.

[THE EG]

I meant "jumping". Told you I don't normally use them in a sentence.

Got to agree with the EG I don't know of a single place on Jacks river That I would jump into it.

I think I may know what you're talking about, though you won't see me doing it. The falls there are a two stage deal. Above the main cataract, there is a shorter fall that creates a big, beautiful plunge pool. It makes me nervous, since it looks like if you screwed up you could get swept over the main fall, but I've often seen people swimming there.
I suppose there's a place or places where you can jump off the rocks into that pool. I would never vouch for the safety of that, though. Knock yourself out on a submerged rock and bye-bye, over you go.

Someone please fill this person in on the girl that drowned, stuck under the rock in the Chattooga. I don't know if they ever got her body out.
