One of my all time favorites, but please follow instructions for your own safety!

The hike to get here is STEEP and requires sure footing. It is one of the most stunning waterfalls in North Carolina. I've written an in depth outline of how to get here and what to know on my blog post here: https://catescompass.com/north-carolina-waterfalls/

There are a bunch of areas to swim downstream from the waterfall and this a great place to spend numerous hours enjoying mother nature. I've swam here multiple times and it never disappoints.

Here is an instagram reel of me swimming here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvmzuy0g4-K/
