Sink area following heavy rain that filled the sink with water (and more mud). A Bainbridge visitor stands looking into the sink, just above a log in the center of the photo (with his reflection beneath the log). The falls are located out of sight to the right and several yards from where the young man stands.
The photo here offers dramatic evidence for the desperate need to restore this once spectacular scenic and historic site. Only as a major state park will this ever be done. Without intervention -- soon -- by our state government, this natural treasure will be lost.
This once magnificent falls can and should be restored--with your help. Contact your Georgia state representative and state senator and Governor Barnes and urge them to create a state park for this area and restore these natural treasures to their former glory. Urge them to establish a state park here to preserve these natural treasures and bring new jobs to our region.
You can send a message to Georgia Governor Barnes and let him know of your support. Take time to send him and the Georgia Parks Division and Tourist Division a note. See Part 1 to contact these officials.
