| Cullasaja Falls, also known as Lower Cullasaja Falls, tumbles 250 feet alongside U.S. 64 in the Cullasaja River Gorge west of Highlands. There is no turnout, but there is room to stop on the shoulder and walk back for a view of the falls, though it's not a great spot.

At the Upper Cullasaja Falls, closer to Highlands, there is a pull-off big enough for a few cars and a boulder field below the falls that is fairly easy to climb down to for photos, easy bouldering or fishing.

The 7.5 miles of U.S. 64 between Highlands and Franklin through the Cullasaja River Gorge are a portion of the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, which continues from Franklin to Almond for a total of 61 miles. The Cullasaja River Gorge is in Macon County. Bridal Veil Falls and Dry Falls are nearby. |  |
