Toccoa Falls

1 of 3

You can enjoy The Toccoa Falls Waterfall in the picturesque North Georgia Mountains, not far from Toccoa. It is located on the Toccoa Falls College campus. Toccoa Falls is made up of a college campus and a spectacular waterfall. Visitors must walk through the campus and enter through Gate Cottage, which houses Toccoa Falls Books & Gifts, to get to the falls.

A lovely trail leads from the cottage to the natural canyon, where the falls may be seen. The Toccoa Falls cascade is one of the highest single-drop waterfalls in this section of the country, at 186 feet high - roughly nineteen feet higher than Niagara Falls. The falling water streams through the magnificent forested college campus, forming a stream. On Sundays, the Gate Cottage Restaurant, which has a magnificent view of Toccoa Creek, is available to the general public for lunch.
