we used to go down behind the dam and catch hybrids in the spillway and swift current...back before they blocked it off the first time..can u still go down there?

The "Bear Creek" falls you mentioned are White (lower) and Factory (upper)Shoals of the Alcovy River. That stretch of river once hosted three mills (including the huge Newton Factory) and a community of 600 people. Flood of '94 resulted in 30,000 cubic feet of water per second cresting the dam , which was significantly more then '09. It was probably 40,000 during the flood of '71. The record, however, is 90,000 cfs - set in the 1920's.

Great video, man that old dam held up well from all that water!

Factory Shoals sure looks different when you have that much water going down.
