Kelly Barnes Dam was an earthen embankment dam once located in Stephens County Georgia just outside of the city of Toccoa. It collapsed on November 6 1977 after a period of heavy rainfall and the resulting flood killed 39 people and caused $2.8 million in damages. The dam was never rebuilt and the Toccoa Falls downstream of the dam site is now a memorial and tourist attraction on the campus of Toccoa Falls College.
