The Falls
Noccalula Falls is on Forbes’ List of Romantic Road Trips for a few reasons. First of all, the Falls! Noccalula Falls flows 90 feet into Black Creek Trail. It was once known as Black Creek Falls, but thanks to love and local lore it was renamed. Find out more about the story behind the name by reading our local spotlight on Noccalula Falls.
While you are finding your lovey-dovey side, be sure to hike the 15 trails. Take a hike on Gorge Trail, which goes underneath the waterfall. Sounds picture-perfect to us!
Also, if you can go under it, why not over it? At Noccalula Falls you can do both. A bridge crosses over Black Creek above the Falls offering a 360-degree view of this natural haven.
Wedding Bells?
Is that birds in the background or the sounds of a wedding? You never know at Noccalula Falls. There is a charming wedding chapel just a few feet away from the falls with scenic views and access to Black Creek Trail.
It comfortably accommodates up to 65 guests. Self-described as being ideal for smaller, private ceremonies.
