Lake Trahlyta Spillway or Trahlyta Falls is a waterfall located in Union County, Georgia, United States. It is located within Vogel State Park. It is named for Trahlyta, a Cherokee maiden who is buried a few miles from the park at Stonepile Gap.[1]

The 60-foot (18 m) tall waterfall abuts the 600-foot (180 m) long Vogel State Park Lake Dam or Lake Trahlyta Dam. The 52-foot (16 m) tall earthen embankment was built in the 1930s to create Lake Trahlyta.[2][3][4]
