Toccoa Falls, Waterfall at Toccoa Falls College, Georgia, United States.
The 186-foot waterfall flows continuously over granite cliffs, creating white cascades visible from a paved 100-yard observation path near the campus entrance point.
In 1977, the earthen Kelly Barnes Dam above Toccoa Falls failed during heavy rainfall, causing a devastating flood that led to thirty-nine casualties.
The name Toccoa originates from Cherokee language, meaning beautiful, and the falls serve as an educational landmark within a Christian college campus setting.
The falls remain open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with weekend hours from noon to 4 PM, requiring entrance through Gate Cottage Gift Shop.
The waterfall stands higher than Niagara Falls and ranks among the tallest free-falling cascades east of the Mississippi River in North America.
