Cullasaja Falls is a beautiful waterfall located along a narrow stretch of Hwy 64. Of the three main waterfalls in the NC Mountains along this route, Cullasaja Falls is the largest. It cascades approximately 250 feet in a stunning rush of water that you need to see to believe. Cullasaja Falls is visible from the highway but there’s only a small pull off area suitable for 2-3 vehicles. The 250′ falls and cascades is viewable from the road. The safest way to approach is from the Franklin side, west of the falls. From the intersection of Hwy 441 and 64 east, the falls is about 7.7 miles east on 64. If you are coming from Highlands, the falls is 5.5 miles past Dry Falls. You might do better passing the falls and turning around a little ways down the road.
