High Falls State Park

Call Directions Website

High Falls State Park Located northwest of Macon, High Falls State Park is named for the tumbling cascades on the Towaliga River.

The park offers camping, yurts, hiking, fishing and boating (10 hp limit). Located northwest of Macon, High Falls is named for tumbling cascades on the Towaliga River. Boat rental, ramps and fishing docks provide easy access to the park’s lake, known as one of Georgia’s top fishing spots for hybrid and white bass. Overnight visitors can choose from a spacious campground or lakeside yurts, which are like canvas and wood tents. Each yurt features a small deck, picnic table and grill outside, plus furniture, electrical outlets and a ceiling fan inside. Visitors can hike along the river’s edge and through hilly forest to the remains of a grist mill foundation. In the early 1800s, this area was a prosperous industrial town with several stores, a grist mill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, shoe factory and hotel. High Falls became a ghost town in the 1880s when a major railroad bypassed it. Today, the park is a popular camping destination and a relaxing side trip for travelers on I-75. Park Hours: 7AM-10PM
Office Hours: 8AM-5PM
