About This Site

NorthCarolinaWaterfalls.info is a new place to find comprehensive information about one of North Carolina's most treasured outdoor resources. We give you pictures, statistics, maps, directions, and links to other sites to help you find your favorite waterfall. Come explore some of the most beautiful features nature has to offer!

Finding a Waterfall

There are several ways to find a waterfall on this site. First, you may want to visit the map to see all the waterfalls on a big regional map. From there you can click a falls for more information. Or, you can search for a waterfall to see information about that falls on its own page. Finally, you can look at a list of waterfalls that we know about to see all of the falls in alphabetical order (with links to their pages).

Links, Plugs, and Inspiration

Though we hope to provide detailed coverage of the subject here, no research on the waterfalls in North Carolina would be complete without first looking at these two other sources, at least. Buy a copy of Kevin Adams' book "North Carolina Waterfalls: A Hiking and Photography Guide" online (or in local bookstores). It is the best one out there. Next, check out Rich Stevenson's web site ncwaterfalls.com, the most comprehensive on the Internet. Many thanks to these and other waterfall enthusiasts who have pointed us in the right direction all those times!

Waterfall News

January Thaw

The extreme cold seen across much of the mountains at the beginning of the year has given way to more seasonal temperatures. However, lots of snow and a tremendous amount of rain has fallen. With more rain and snowmelt in the forecast, stream levels are higher than they have been in years and waterfalls are still looking their best. So get out and enjoy it soon because it looks like some more very cold weather could be coming in next week!
