And so it begins...
The falls at Lula Lake are a little known wonder tucked away in Georgia's Northwestern corner. Located on Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, TN, The Lula Lake Land Trust is only open to the public on the first Saturday of every month. There is ample parking followed by an easy 1 mile walk to the upper and lower falls. Unfortunately there is no swimming or wading in the small Lula Lake or in the pool below the big lower falls.
My younger sister in Chattanooga first brought me to these falls in May, 2010. This initial visit to Lula Lake was inspiring enough to make me want to return, which I did a few months later with both sisters and brother-in-law. On the second trip I walked through the stream from the upper falls to the lower falls. The view from the top of the 300 foot lower falls is both inspiring and terrifying. If you're skittish of heights or the slightest bit clumsy, I wouldn't recommend getting too close to the edge. As you can see by the pictures below, I'm just an idiot...but I had to know what it would feel like.
Seeing the lower Lula Falls sparked me to want to see all the waterfalls of North Georgia. The following week I began doing online research and have since plotted over 130 falls throughout the N Ga. counties. I will return to Lula Falls at the end of this journey to give back the small stone I took from there at my first trip which I have carried with me to every falls I've visited since.
