Lower Cullasaja Falls

Height: 250 feet

The rushing waters of the Cullasaja River flow over the Lower Cullasaja falls, in the Cullasaja Gorge. At 250 feet high, these falls are spectacular and are part of the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway. They can easily be viewed from the road; it is not safe to try and hike down to the base of the falls.

Directions: From Dry Falls, continue on Highway 64 for 3.3 miles. Pull off to the left onto gravel for a view of the upper falls. Continue another 2.4 miles on Highway 64. and pull off to the left side of the road for a view of the lower falls. You can also pass the pull-off, find a safe place to turn around and then go back and enter the pull-off facing the falls. Be sure to pull your vehicle off the road completely, as passing trucks need two lanes to navigate the adjacent curve. Be careful!
