The waterfall is located on the [[Cullasaja River]] in the [[Nantahala National Forest]] and is part of the [[Mountain Waters Scenic Byway]].  ''Cullasaja'' comes from a Cherokee word meaning "honey locust place."

The height of the falls is given as {{convert|200|ft|m|abbr=on}} in Kevin Adams' book, North Carolina Waterfalls<ref name="Kevin Adams Book" /> and {{convert|250|ft|m|abbr=on}} by NCWaterfalls.com.<ref name="NC Waterfalls Height">[http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/cull1.htm NCWaterfalls.com]</ref>  Google Earth gives a height (based on the elevation of the water at the top of the falls and the elevation of the plunge pool at the bottom of the falls) of {{convert|137|ft|m|abbr=on}}.

The falls can be glimpsed from vehicles on the road; however, getting a better view of the falls is not easy. The falls are located beside of a series of blind curves on [[U.S. Highway 64|Highway 64]] with sheer rock cliffs above and below the road. There is only one small pull-off near the falls, but walking on the road puts visitors in danger of being hit by a passing vehicle. This water fall is just up the road of the Cullasaja River RV Park.
