舒潭瀑布由瀑布和舒潭组合而成。瀑布高近30米，宽约2-3米，瀑布台阶上为强抗风化的钾长花岗岩，下为弱抗风化的花岗闪长岩。两者的差异性风化剥蚀形成台阶，山涧流水倾泻形成瀑布。瀑布下为水体冲蚀形成的舒潭，最深处约3.5米，直经约20米。每每皎月当空，舒潭明亮如月，又称“舒潭映月”，是九华山十大胜景之一。

Shutan Waterfall is almost 30 m tall and 2-3 m wide. The rock above the terrace is strong anti-weathering syenogranite, and the rock under the terrace is granodiorite with weak weathering resistance. The differential weathering and denudation of the two rock types formed the terrace and the stream pours down, forming a waterfall. Beneath the waterfall is the Shutan Pond formed by washout. The maximum depth of the pond is 3.5 m and its diameter is about 20 m. In clear nights the pond reflects the bright moon, forming one of the most beautiful sceneries of Jiuhuashan Geopark.
