High Falls State Park Details
After being bypassed by a major railroad in the 1880s, the prosperous city of High Falls became a ghost town. Today, the remnants of the foundation of a mill and powerhouses can be seen, along with the Old Alabama Road bridge that was almost entirely washed away by a more recent flood. Besides the old city ruins, the park is home to the largest waterfall in middle Georgia. The falls are part of Towaliga River and flow from a height of 135 feet.
