MELROSE FALLS
Melrose Falls. 3-29-19 I knew there was a Melrose Falls years ago, but had read it was just roadside viewable - and only in the winter. It didn't really seem worth the drive to see. Lately, I've been seeing interesting photos of Melrose Falls in social media, but still haven't made the effort to go. LOG HOLLOW FALLS, LOG HOLLOW BRANCH, DISCOVERY FALLS Log Hollow Falls . 10-28-17 - You can see 4 waterfalls in this stop - 2 are kid friendly (Log Hollow and Logging Road Falls) and 2 require a bit of scrambling to get to (Discovery and Upper Log Hollow Falls). Bigger kids may still be able to get to them without any trouble. The waterfall pictured above - Log Hollow Falls - is the main one that is written about and is right next to the trail. BIG BRADLEY FALLS, BRADLEY FALLS Big Bradley Falls. . 5-27-20 - Effective immediately, you can no longer access Big Bradley Falls or the cliff area that has a partial view of the waterfall. This has nothing to do with the Covid-19 closures, but is because it's not a safe area and people keep dyinghere.

KIESEE FALLS AND UPPER KIESEE FALLS Kiesee Falls. 6-10-16 - I hadn't been to Kiesee and Upper Kiesee Falls since 2005, so I put them high on my list of waterfalls I needed to return to for better pictures and better directions. FR140 (Courthouse Rd) has been closed since August of 2015, so when the forest service announced that it would reopen today, I was there with a couple offriends waiting.

White Owl Falls. 8-1-16 I last visited White Owl Falls in early August 2016 and the photo above is from that day.

Most of the exploration here is for experienced adventure seekers rather than casual waterfall hikers.CHESTNUT FALLS
Chestnut Falls. 8-3-16 Chestnut Falls is a fairly nice 20' waterfall and is a good add on waterfall if you are visiting Courthouse Falls and have extra time.

MELROSE FALLS
Melrose Falls. 3-29-19 I knew there was a Melrose Falls years ago, but had read it was just roadside viewable - and only in the winter. It didn't really seem worth the drive to see. Lately, I've been seeing interesting photos of Melrose Falls in social media, but still haven't made the effort to go.

East Fork Falls. 9-5-18 - East Fork Falls is the easiest waterfall to get to in Headwaters State Forest.It's only about 12' high, but is in a very picturesque setting, only about 100 yards from the road. Locals have been coming to this waterfall for years because it has a greatswimming hole.

Sols Creek Falls. Harry first saw Sols Creek Falls mentioned on WLOS's 'Outdoors with Bob Caldwell' in April '03 and suggested we check itout.
KIESEE FALLS AND UPPER KIESEE FALLS Kiesee Falls. 6-10-16 - I hadn't been to Kiesee and Upper Kiesee Falls since 2005, so I put them high on my list of waterfalls I needed to return to for better pictures and better directions. FR140 (Courthouse Rd) has been closed since August of 2015, so when the forest service announced that it would reopen today, I was there with a couple offriends waiting.
NORTH CAROLINA WATERFALLS On this page I've tried to list the areas that have groupings of waterfalls to help you in planning a trip to this area.

LOWER WHITEWATER FALLS AND MOONDANCE FALLS Lower Whitewater Falls. 11-26-17 Lower Whitewater Falls is about 2 miles down river from North Carolina's 411' Whitewater Falls.Starting at Whitewater Falls, you could hike to both via the Foothills Trail and spur trails, but that's not the easiest way to see LowerWhitewater Falls.
LOG HOLLOW FALLS, LOG HOLLOW BRANCH, DISCOVERY FALLS Log Hollow Falls . 10-28-17 - You can see 4 waterfalls in this stop - 2 are kid friendly (Log Hollow and Logging Road Falls) and 2 require a bit of scrambling to get to (Discovery and Upper Log Hollow Falls). Bigger kids may still be able to get to them without any trouble. The waterfall pictured above - Log Hollow Falls - is the main one that is written about and is right next to the trail.SLICK ROCK FALLS
Slick Rock Falls. 8-5-16 Slick Rock Falls is another easy waterfall to get to and is family friendly. You can see the waterfall from the parking area, so the hike is fairly short - which means it's also very popular. The waterfall is about 30' high, but it's best viewed after agood rain.
HOOKER FALLS
Hooker Falls. 7-31-20 Hooker Falls is accessed from the Hooker Falls parking area and is the easiest waterfall to get to in DuPont State Forest. The hike used to be along a gravel road, but has been rerouted. I haven't seen the new trail, but from what I've read it's wide with a gravel substrate.

A lot has changed - and it's a good change! The trail is now called the Big Shoals Trail and is blazed with blue metal rectangles nailed to the trees.

The road passes over the top of Toxaway Falls on the Toxaway River, and there's a nice wide shoulder on the dam side to pull over, park, and take a look.

YELLOW CREEK FALLS NEAR ROBBINSVILLE, NC Yellow Creek Falls. 6-2-19 - We finally got over to the Robbinsville area for a few days of camping and hiking. There are several waterfalls in that area that I haven't been to and this little jewel was one of them. It's on pages 447-448 of Kevin Adams 3rd edition of his North Carolina Waterfalls guide book and that's how I found out about it. If you don't have the book, he has hundreds of Welcome to one of the most beautiful places on Earth - the mountains of western North Carolina! There are literally hundreds of waterfalls and miles and miles of hiking trails in this area - you could spend a lifetime trying to see everything. Western North Carolina is blessed to have over a million acres of national forests, national parks, state parks, and other public lands for our enjoyment and use. The Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests comprise most of this land and offer multiple uses including hiking, water, mountain biking, camping, and horseback riding. Our state parks offer the same activities and contain some of the lesser know hidden jewels. New state parks are still being developed - Gorges State Park, Chimney Rock State Park, and the new Grandfather Mountain State Park are still in their infancy stages of development. And of course there's the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway - America's Favorite Drive. Men and women with extraordinary vision preserved these special places and are constantly working to save more and improve what has already been saved. They do this because they love the land, they love the beauty Mother Nature has bestowed upon this area, and because they want to share it with you, me, and everyone that will take the time to get out andexperience it.
Of course, the scenery doesn't stop at the North Carolina border. Upstate South Carolina and Georgia have beautiful waterfalls in their mountain areas. There are enough waterfalls in central and Eastern Tennessee to fill another web site - and of course there's the Great Smoky Mountain National Park on the NC/TN border. I've done my best to include their waterfalls in this site, but still have a lot moreplaces to visit.
I didn't discover this area until 1998. That's when friends invited me up to their mountain home in Lake Toxaway to hike to some of the waterfalls in the area. My first falls were Drift, Turtleback and Rainbow Falls along the Horsepasture River and I've been hooked ever since. I lived near Raleigh at the time and it was a struggle to get over this way more than 5 times a year. By 2002 I just couldn't stand living 4-5 hours away, so I started planning to relocate. In April 2003, the dream became reality and I picked up my life and moved it to Asheville. This site has grown tremendously in the number of visitors - especially in the last 3 years. That's a good thing since it probably means more people are getting outdoors to enjoy Nature's beauty and are looking for info on where to go and what to see. The only down side is I'm getting a lot more emails and am not able to answer all of the inquiries. I'm very sorry if I haven't responded to yours, but please remember that this is a one person operation. Use this site for your visual pleasure or as just one source of info for planning a trip to this area. This site is - and will always be - a work in progress, and I'll do my best to keep it up to date. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLACES TO GO - This page has links to subsections where falls in the same area are grouped together. Try looking here if you're planning a trip to the area. You'll find photos and directions to the waterfalls, as well as ramblings about the areas and my adventures on various trips. INDEX - If you would like to see a list of the falls on this site or if you are looking for a particular waterfall, go to the index. The falls are in alphabetical order and there's a link to the page that the information about the fall is on. There may be more than one falls on a page, so you may have to scroll down. IMAGE GALLERIES - I wanted to create a section of my site where you can go and just look at pictures of this beautiful area. I've found the easiest way for me to present these images is to use PBase.com - an online service separate from my site. The pictures are larger than the ones posted here and include a wider variety of images that you won't find in this section of my site. Click the thumbnails in each gallery for a larger image. These photos are best viewed if your display is set to 1024 x 768. If you have to scroll to see the entire image, you can click 'medium' under each image to get a smaller view. VIDEO - I have added a lot of videos to both my YouTube and Vimeo Channels over the past few years, but now am only adding to my YouTube channel. Become a subscriber to get notifications when I add new ones!WILDFLOWERS - As I
began hiking more, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful wildflowers that grow along the trails and the roads that take me to the trail heads. So I took pictures of those also and have posted them in one of my PBase galleries. LINKS - The links section has links to other waterfall, mountain and hiking sites and also links to sites with info on camping, lodging and other activities in western North Carolina. If you have one you would like for me to add, pleaseemail me.
I realize there's a lot of info to sort through on this site, so I'm trying a Google search. Leave the button set to ncwaterfalls.com, type in your search words, click, and Google will search just within this site. Hope this helps - I may or may not keep this feature. WWW ncwaterfalls.com WARNING!!! WET ROCKS ARE VERY SLIPPERY AND PEOPLE FALL TO THEIR DEATHS FROM WATERFALLS EVERY YEAR! IF YOU VISIT THEM, PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND USE COMMON SENSE! DO NOT CLIMB ROCKS AROUND THE WATERFALLS AND DO NOT EVER CROSS A STREAM OR SWIM AT THE TOP OF A WATERFALL. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, WATCH THEM AT ALL TIMES. THERE ARE ALSO MANY SPECIES OF RARE PLANTS NEAR SOME OF THESE WATERFALLS, LIVING IN AND NEAR THE SPRAY AREAS OF THE FALLS. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TRAMPLE VEGETATION WHILE EXPLORING ANY FALLS! _"I CAN SEE MY RAINBOW CALLING ME THROUGH THE MISTY BREEZE OF MY WATERFALL." - JIMI HENDRIX_ 3-1-21 - Late last year I announced the launch of a new non-profit organization in western NC - Waterfall Keepers of North Carolina. The mission of the new organization is to promote and protect one of North Carolina's most valuable resources - it's waterfalls! Waterfall Keepers of North Carolina had been in the planning stages for more than a year before it's launch and was able to hit the ground running immediately after being announced to the public. North Carolina's own Kevin Adams serves as the executive director and is founder of the organization. As most of you know, Kevin is one of North Carolina's top experts on the state's waterfalls and is author of the well known NC waterfall guide book, _NORTH CAROLINA WATERFALLS_. Along with being a writer, Kevin is also a teacher, professional photographer, and naturalist. Holly Bass is co-founder of the organization and is associate director. Many of you know Holly from social media as a hardcore waterfaller and nature lover. Her passion will shine through in her role as associate director as she uses her teaching and 'Mom' skills to get kids involved in this new venture. I am honored to serve on the Board of Directors with several other conservation minded individuals and will also be volunteering my time at many of the planned activities you can find on the web site. Be sure to also check out Waterfall KeepersFacebook page
and
Friends of Waterfall Keepers pagefor up to
date news and announcements! Waterfall visitation has exploded in the last 10 years. The pandemic of 2020 has brought even more people outdoors and some of our more popular waterfalls are suffering from over use. We all need to pitch in and help keep these areas as pristine as we can - for now and for future generations. If you would like to be involved with a community of waterfall lovers, please take some time and really explore the Waterfall Keepers of NC web site. We would be honored for you to join us on this journey. As of early February, 179 waterfalls have been adopted by 207 volunteers who have already picked up 550 gallons of trash! Waterfall Keepers has also adopted a stretch of NC215 north of the Blue Ridge Parkway for the Adopt-A-Highway program. Our 1st cleanup was a couple of weeks ago and was a huge success! Volunteers picked up 480 gallons of recyclable trash, 330 gallons of just plain trash, 10 tires, 1 TV, I kid’s ATV, and several other items too big to bag. March 20th is the 1st ever Waterfall Sweep and we hope you can join in on this massive waterfall clean up campaign. Details can be found on this page of the Waterfall Keepers web site. Your kids can
also participate in helping out - and they have been! Holly and others have been developing the Junior Waterfall Keepers program and will make the details public soon. That information can be found on the Junior Keepers section of the web site. I hope you
will join in on the fun! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Blue Ridge Parkway has done away with it's interactive closure map. They have replaced it with a chart showing which sections are open and closed. It looks like it's updated daily and should be more user friendly on a wider variety of devices. The link is here. On October 30, 2021, heavy rains washed out a section of Cedar Creek Rd which is the road leading to the west entrance of Panthertown Valley. It was unknown at that point when this section of road will reopen. Current updates can be found on the Friends of Panthertown website here
.
Be prepared to use one of the other access points to Panthertown on Cold Mountain Rd and off of Rock Bridge School Rd. If you are planning to visit Crabtree Falls off of the Blue Ridge Parkway, don't rely on Google maps to get you there. There's another Crabtree Falls nearby that is on private property and is not accessed via the Parkway. According to the landowner, a lot of people have been showing up at their property because of bad directions and this waterfall is not open to the public! If you are not on the Blue Ridge Parkway, you are not at the trail head for the public Crabtree Falls. More info is on this page of my site. Effective immediately, you can no longer access Big Bradley Falls or the cliff area that has a partial view of the waterfall. This has nothing to do with the Covid-19 closures, but is because it's not a safe area and people keep dying here. The land is owned by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and you can find the info on their sitehere
.
I emailed to find out if you could access the falls from the trail that comes up the creek, but I haven't received a response. You should just assume that you are not allowed at the waterfall at all. I have no idea how long this closure will be in effect, so you'll have to keep checking on their web site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I upgraded my camera to a Sony a6400 in early 2019. Picture quality is similar to the a6000 that I was previously using, but I can now shoot video in 4K! I post photos and short videos on my Instagram account that you won't see here and longer videos on my YouTube Channel . Some of the posts aren't waterfall related, but most are nature oriented. Feel free to subscribe and follow along! There was some very exciting news announced just after Labor Day 2018. The 6,730 acre Headwaters State Forest officially opened to the public on September 8th! This has been in the works for almost 10 years now and I have begun to explore the area a bit. Previous information about the forest land claims 25 waterfalls are on the property, but don't get too excited yet. Very few have any kind of trail that passes by them, and it will be a while before any are built. I'll be very surprised if there are more than 10 waterfalls worth mentioning. One nice waterfall is right next to the road - East Fork Falls. Reese Place Falls and Gravley Falls are 2 more that are fairly well known and folks have been going to them in the past few years even though the land has been closed to the public. Headwaters will not be another Dupont State Forest with overcrowded trails and parking lots - thank goodness. It will be managed by the North Carolina Forest Service, but more as a working forest with dispersed recreation. Here the forest service info- be sure read
the FAQ page at this link. One thing that stands out is it will be _FOOT TRAFFIC ONLY_ - no mountain bikes or horseback riding. I've started a Headwaters State Forest page at this link and will be adding to it as I spend more time in there. Below is a video of Reece PlaceFalls.
My wife recently finished her 4th hiking guide book - _DAY HIKING THE MOUNTAINS TO SEA TRAIL_. This book focuses on the sections of trail from Clingmans Dome to Mount Mitchell, but only the sections of trail that can reasonably done in a day by the average hiker. You can order this book and her other 3 from Amazon at this link.
The 3rd edition of Kevin Adams' _NORTH CAROLINA WATERFALLS_ guide book is out and in many of the visitor centers and outdoor gear shops in the area. You can order the book directly from Kevin by clicking here.
Kevin had more waterfalls in this book than I will ever have on this site, so you are missing out if you don't get a copy! The updated version of his excellent waterfall map is also out and is available for order. This map is essential in planning your waterfall vacation. You can order it directly from Kevin hereor
look for it at many of the outdoor shops and book stores in the area. Kevin has also been working a lot harder on his web site than I have and has an excellent North Carolina waterfalls section with a really nice interactive map that he is always updating. Click here to see it, then also be
sure to click around on the rest of his site! My hiking pal and finder of many new waterfalls Bernie Boyer has a great photo gallery with a lot of photos of his adventures in this area and more recently north Georgia. You can check it out here.
In April 2016, representatives of a variety of Pisgah user groups, in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, announced the formation of a North Carolina non-profit corporation called The Pisgah Conservancy. The mission of the Pisgah Conservancy is "to provide funding to preserve the natural resources and scenic beauty of the Pisgah Ranger District and to enhance the experience of all visitors to Pisgah. The Pisgah Conservancy’s efforts will be focused on sustainable recreational usage of the Forest, watershed improvement, eradication of invasive species, removal of waste, litter, and graffiti, wildlife habitat improvement, and education." Right now the forest service doesn't have the funding or the manpower to keep up with trail maintenance or to develop new areas for people to enjoy. I became a member of the conservancy right away because I can see the need for what these folks want to accomplish. I hope you will take the time to visit their web site here and consider donating to the cause. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are new to the site, visiting my PBase galleries from time to time might give you ideas of other places to visit in the area. Some of the spots I visit and shoot don't have waterfalls, so the info isn't posted on my main site here. Most of the images in those galleries are from western North Carolina, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and upstate South Carolina. The main gallery is here , then click on any of the other galleries for the pictures. I have galleries for the wildflowers, mushrooms, birds, and other things I have seen while out and about, plus galleries from other national parks and areas I have visited. If you have used my site to plan your vacation or find new places to explore and would like to show your appreciation for the time and effort I have put into these pages over the past 20+ years, you can offer a donation via PayPal below. If you notice, I don't have any advertising on this site, and plan on keeping it that way. Thank you to all that have contributed so far! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All updates to the site are listed below so you can tell if anything has changed and if there is a link, it will take you right to the new stuff. I really appreciate all the nice emails I've received saying how much you enjoy the photos and info, or how the site brings back old memories of visiting or living in the mountains. This site has grown tremendously in the past year and unfortunately I don't have the time to respond to all of them. I do read them all and do the best I can. Thanks for visiting!UPPER CATAWBA FALLS
