About High Falls State Park

I really like photographing waterfalls. High Falls State Park is someplace I escape to with my camera, when it rains heavily on one day and is sun shine the next. Because Lake Jackson aggressively spills over its dam and make a powerful cascading waterfall. The park itself has a small entrance parking fee of less than $10 per vehicle. Walk in people do not have to pay a fee. It has several trails for hiking, picnic areas, a restroom facility and gazebos that can be rented out for special occasion. If you have a State of Georgia Park Pass, then parking is free. Distance from Atlanta- about 50 minutes right down I-75. Distance from Macon is about 40 minutes. The park is close enough to I-75 (about two miles down the road), that if you are just passing through, you can stop and have a picnic and walk around, without interrupting your travel schedule too much. Bring your food with you though, there aren't a lot of places to grab a bite nearby. There are photographs already here that show you what the waterfall normally looks like. The ones I am posting show you how it looks after a heavy rain. The splash of the water and the roaring crashing of the waves is awesome. Enjoy and come check out High Falls State Park, especially a day after heavy rains.
