Huge boulders form sides of a deep ravine above Cascade Creek. A natural cave formation inside of the cliff forms the legendary Wolf's Den. The ravine at Wolf's Den is caused by a shift in a fault line, and the cave was formed by erosion under the boulders. You will see beaver ponds, large rock outcroppings, and native plants such as mountain laurel, dogwoods, and wild azaleas. You might stop at Dowdell's Knob, a favorite picnicking spot of Franklin Delano Roosevelt , where you will see walls and barbecue pits made of native stone.
Water descends from three levels to a pool at the bottom of a ravine.
Mountain laurel, rhododendron, and other growth indigenous to mountainous areas abound above the falls and along the creek. Pine Mountain is the very end of the Appalachian Chain. It provides springs which contribute to the local watershed and which have played an important part in the history of Meriwether County and surrounding areas such as Callaway Gardens . Water flowing down one side of the mountain near Warm Springs is 88 degrees Fahrenheit. These waters can be touched when visiting the historic therapeutic pools on Highway 41, on the west side of Warm Springs.
