Just like my trip, I'm going to make this short, sweet, and to the point. The Falls are absolutely gorgeous, however if you are looking for a nice long walk to see several falls "this attraction is not for you", on the other hand if you want to take a breather from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and just exhale this place may just be what you're looking for. My job is quite stressful and I enjoyed it, however my 7 yr old was done after 30 minutes of taking pictures and watching the waterfall.

When I first visited Toccoa Falls as a child, we heard stories of star-crossed Cherokee lovers leaping to their death over this scenic waterfalls. said to be the highest east of the Mississippi. Later, the Gatehouse at the foot of Toccoa served as a meeting place for the DAR and CAR, where I spoke on the same podium as Zell Miller when he was running for Congress, and I was finishing high school in 1976. In 1977 we were awakened to hear that the dam above Toccoa Falls, named for family friend Kelley Barnes had broken, and numerous people drowned, as the waters rushed through the lowlands and flood plane below the falls. Kelley Barnes and my grandfather Zack Martin had helped to build and donate materials for the meeting hall at the nearby Toccoa Falls College. The annual ritual of revisiting Toccoa Falls, year after year, evokes the memories of the past, and transports us back to happy and simpler times, in a ritual of memory and celebration. Highly recommend for the first time visitor as well as those who have lived in Toccoa Falls, Toccoa and the surrounding areas..

Enjoyed the beautiful plants and water fall and how peaceful it is to sit and just listen to the water

Decided to go for a drive and ended up going to Toccoa to see the falls. Brought our two girls and they loved it!

Last minute road trip from Athens to these amazing falls. I cannot believe I waited so long to come for a visit. The kids and I had the place to ourselves for almost an hour, and enjoyed every minute of it! We will be making a return trip!

Had a beautiful drive to Toccoa Falls. Enjoyed probably the last color of autumn. Went with friends. There's a minimal fee to go to the falls. $2 unless you are over 60 then it's only $1. One in our group had a walker. It's a short walk but is on gravel so it was slow going but she was happy to be able to see the falls. There's a bench near the falls so if you do have people with you who want to enjoy the beauty but aren't busy taking pictures then there's a place for them.

Short walk back to the falls. Very accessible. There is a small fee to get in. But well worth it.When we visited the falls, someone was getting married. Perfect place for it.

This waterfall is a free falling one, one of the highest in the eastern US. They are in a lovely little grotto, near a monument commemorating the flood that was caused by the earthen dam above the falls, back in Nov. 1977. The falls are on the campus of Toccoa Falls college, which itself is very lovely. One must go through the gift shop to get to the short walk to the falls. Take lots of pictures!

If you want to see a pretty waterfall, but not into a long hike, this is the place. $2 entry fee, a 5 minute walk and you're there. Bring the camera! The only drawback is you're not allowed in the water.

My husband and our 2 Golden Retrievers went to see Toccoa Falls. It is a very scenic waterfall and very easy to access. Just a short walk on a gravel walkway. Toccoa Falls College campus (which is where the waterfall is at) is a quaint Christian college and very scenic as well. It costs $2.00 per person to see the waterfall and you can take dogs as long as they are on a leash. We had googled this before we went and it was hard to get info online about whether or not dogs were allowed -- well, they are. You can walk them right through the gift shop. The only negative is that they don't allow swimming at the area. It is still worth going to. We did it on a day trip. Dogs liked it, we sat on the rocks and people-watched for a while. There is also a memorial to several who perished on site during flooding in 1977. Sad story. I am glad the area is protected.
