Toccoa Falls is located in Stephens County, Georgia on the campus of Toccoa Falls College. The waterfall has a 186 feet vertical drop, making it one of the highest free-falling waterfalls east of the Mississippi River.
The hike to the falls is easy with a wide compacted scenic path that follows the river. The trail to the falls is wheelchair accessible.
Visitors enter through Toccoa Falls Books & Gifts located in Gate Cottage and then walk to the base on a scenic path next to a flowing stream.
Toccoa Falls is open year round and a $2 fee.
In an interesting note, you can rent out the space at the bottom of the falls for special events like weddings. Contact the book store for more information.

Such a pretty waterfall. It’s nice that the college lets people onto the campus to view it. There is a small charge to see it, but it’s really small and well worth it for people who cannot walk far distances to view waterfalls. I appreciate the opportunity to view a waterfall in person, since there are so many that are too difficult for me to see.

Hey nice post! I hope it’s ok that I shared it on my Twitter,
if not, no issues just tell me and I’ll remove it.
Either way keep up the great work.
