Named after a Creek Indian princess, Noccalula Falls stands 90 feet tall and is one of the most visited natural attractions in the state.
When rain conditions are normal, the waterfall is about 20 feet high, with a smaller one located slightly to the right of the higher fall. Heavy rains cause the two falls to merge into one wider waterfall.
