Chickamauga Creek rises in the northeastern corner of White County, Georgia, where White County meets Habersham County, just southeast of the source of Smith Creek, and just south of State Route 356. The creek runs south parallel to the White County-Habersham County line, past Sautee Nacoochee on its right bank, and flows into the Chattahoochee River only about 1 mile east of where Dukes Creek joins the river, right off of State Route 75.
