Falls of Gouges Creek

This is a high, scenic cascade which comes off a rounded rock face and gets steeper near the bottom, before ending in a crevice-like area at the bottom.

Directions

Driving

The falls is not far from downtown Spruce Pine, NC, at the end of Thomas Road off of Gouges Creek Road. That's about as detailed as I'll get, because I believe the falls is on private property which is inaccessible to the public.

Trail

I've seen at least one reference to the falls as being on private property, and another that says you should just part at the end of the road and walk a short distance to the falls. I have not investigated myself, so I'll leave it up to you.
