Snapping Shoals Creek

Snapping Shoals Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] It is a tributary to the South River.[2]

Some say Snapping Shoals Creek was so named for fish which could be easily caught or "snapped" at a shoal, while others believe the swift river current caused this name to be selected.[2] Variant names are "Shoals Creek" and "Snapping Shoal Creek".[1]
