Vickery Creek (also known as "Big Creek") is a 26.5-mile-long (42.6 km)stream in Forsyth and Fulton counties in Georgia. The creek mouth (34°00′18″N 84°20′56″W / 34.005°N 84.349°W / 34.005; -84.349) into the Chattahoochee River is located at the southern border of Roswell where State Route 9 crosses the river. Its source (34°11′24″N 84°08′31″W / 34.190°N 84.142°W / 34.190; -84.142) is located just north of the intersection of Georgia State Route 9 and Georgia State Route 20, in Forsyth County, about 1 mile directly south of downtown Cumming. People guarding waters and falls are there from when it opens to when it closes. Much of the land east of the creek and west of Grimes Bridge Road in Roswell forms the Vickery Creek unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
