What you'll find
Georgia's 600-foot secret: Cochrans Falls, the state's second-tallest, one ridge from Amicalola — and we won't give you directions, because none exist. There is no maintained trail, the scramble route is genuinely treacherous, and even the land ownership is murky. Some waterfalls are for the record, not the itinerary; this is one.
Getting there
- Trailhead
- None — no maintained trail or official access
- Heads up
- Rescues happen here. If it ever gains official access, this page will say so.
When to go
From the record books: wet winters and spring make it roar for the few who see it.
Rules & fees
- Warnings
- No trail, no signage, no cell coverage, unclear ownership — the full bad bingo card. Amicalola is one ridge over with stairs and railings.

Where it is
Before you go
The pin marks the feature, not a trailhead or a legal route in. Some sit on private land or need a real hike, and conditions change with season and rain. Check local access, don't trespass, and never enter water — hot or cold — where it isn't safe.
