Description
Toccoa Falls (meaning beautiful) , drops 186 feet into plunge pool on the campus of the Toccoa Falls College. The area grabbed national headlines in 1977 as Toccoa's 100 year old Kelly Barnes Dam broke above the falls. The powerful force brought destruction and tragic deaths to the college and town below. A granite memorial (left) lists the names of the students lost in this flood. A small park at the base of the falls allows guests to linger and enjoy this beautiful sight.
