THE WATERFALL

The falls are a 90 foot drop into the Black Creek gorge. It is naturally fed by Black Creek alone. Being a natural waterfall it is dependent on rainfall to feed the cascade. When we see a high volume of rain we can see it flood (often in the Winter and Spring.) When we see little rainfall in the late Summer and Fall we may only have a trickle of water. Regardless of the amount of water it is always a site to see!

One of the special attractions to Noccalula Falls is that by accessing the Gorge Trail you can pass under the Falls. In addition the bridge leading over Black Creek above the Falls allows a 360-degree view of this grand natural waterfall.

MINI GOLF

Our Mini Golf Course, located adjacent to beautiful Noccalula Falls Park.
The course features a beautifully landscaped layout that takes you past cascading waterfalls, over and around streams, and around the rock formations found at Noccalula Falls.

The course was designed to be fun for all ages as well as present a challenge that will even make the most avid golfer come back for more. The course is lit for those that would like an evening out with friends and family.
