Scarecorn Creek

Scarecorn Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia.^[1] It is a tributary to Talking Rock Creek.

According to tradition, Scarecorn Creek was named from a farmer's unsuccessful attempt to scare away birds from his crops; the farmer may have scared the corn, but not the birds.^[2]
