Toccoa Falls College, Christian liberal arts college in Toccoa Falls, Georgia
Toccoa Falls College is a private Christian liberal arts college in Toccoa, in the hills of northern Georgia, USA. The campus sits on a wooded property where academic buildings, student housing, and a natural waterfall all share the same grounds.
The college was founded in 1907 by church leaders who wanted to offer an education rooted in Christian faith. Over the following decades, it grew from a small Bible training school into a accredited liberal arts institution.
The college takes its name from the waterfall that flows directly on campus, making it one of the few schools in the country where a natural landmark sits at its heart. Throughout the grounds, Christian symbols are woven into everyday spaces, reminding visitors that faith is part of campus life here.
The campus is easy to walk around, though comfortable shoes are a good idea since the terrain is uneven and hilly in places. Those planning to visit the waterfall on the grounds should allow extra time for the short trail leading to it.
The waterfall on the grounds drops about 186 feet (57 meters), making it one of the tallest waterfalls in the eastern United States. It falls just steps from a path that students walk every day, so it is part of ordinary campus life rather than a distant attraction.
