Cullasaja Falls is a stunning 250-foot waterfall located along a treacherous stretch of Hwy 64 in Highlands, NC. With limited parking for only a few vehicles, the falls can be viewed from the road, but it is safer to approach from the Franklin side. A steep path leads down to the base of the falls, offering a glimpse of its impressive beauty, although caution is advised due to potentially dangerous conditions during heavy water flow.
Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking view of Cullasaja Falls from a small pull-off area, but it is important to pull completely off the road to accommodate tractor trailers navigating the sharp curves. The upper section of the falls can be observed from the pull-off, while a challenging descent to the base reveals the lower portion. Nestled within the Nantahala Forest, this natural wonder is a must-see for those seeking awe-inspiring waterfalls in the area.

See a problem?
