Noccalula Falls

Originally known as Black Creek Falls, Noccalula Falls is most noted for its 90 foot waterfall with gorge trail winding through its basin. The park also contains caves, aboriginal forts, an abandoned dam, pioneer homestead and Civil War carvings. The falls are marked with a bronze statue of Cherokee princess who, according to legend, plunged to her death after being ordered by her father to marry a man she didn't love. The bronze statue is made of pennies collected from local school children in the mid 1960's.

The falls can be viewed from above or you can pay admission and walk the 1.5 mile gorge trail loop. A magnificent sight any time of year but most especially from fall through spring when seasonal rains fill the creek making the cascade even stronger.

The park also boasts a petting zoo, gift shop and botanical garden. There is sure to be a site fit to excited every interest.
