Sope Creek: weathered rock

Sope Creek is a major stream located in Cobb County, Georgia. It is a significant tributary of the Chattahoochee River.  From beginning to end, Sope Creek falls nearly 300 feet over the course of approximately 12 miles.

An historical account in the Atlanta Journal once said of the area, “Sope Creek, particularly in the springtime, is a place of unusual beauty. A quaint old covered bridge [lost to arson in 1964] spans the stream just below where the log dam used to be. The stream is strewn with great boulders and the water dashes over these in a series of cascades, causing such masses of foam that they look like soapsuds.” –Wikipedia
