It remains unclear what the group were doing in the beauty spot, which is popular for swimming, canyoning and with walkers, but it is believed they were walking.
Specialist water rescue teams from the police, fire service and Tayside Mountain Rescue rushed to the popular beauty spot shortly after the alarm was raised at 5.35pm.
A search and rescue helicopter was also involved in the hunt.
The search was called off as darkness fell but was to resume early on Thursday morning.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Some people got into difficulty in the water. One is unaccounted for at this time.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it was alerted at 5.40pm to reports of people in the water at the falls, which can be reached by a path from behind the House of Bruar.
A spokesperson said: “Two specialist water rescue crews, a line rescue team and two appliances were immediately mobilised to the scene.
“A total of seven people had made their way to safety, while one male casualty had been transferred to the care of ambulance crew prior to the arrival of firefighters.”
The gorge can be reached by a walkway from behind the House of Bruar and is popular with visitors.
Police kept members of the public away from the area while the incident was ongoing.
