Caledonia Cascade

Caledonia Cascade plunges down 600 feet through three separate drops along the rock face, with the longest section measuring 262 feet in vertical descent.

The cascade became a documented natural landmark in the early 19th century when European settlers mapped the water resources of former Cherokee Nation territories.

Local communities organize annual hiking events around the cascade, promoting environmental education and the preservation of Rabun County natural resources.

The observation point requires a moderate hike along the Tallulah Gorge rim trail, with parking facilities available at the trailhead entrance.

The water flow varies substantially throughout the year, creating different patterns across the three-tiered structure depending on rainfall and seasonal conditions.
