Very nice easy trail to this waterfall. You will see many people on this trail as it is easily traveled by most people unlike other trails in the area. I would rate this waterfall a 6 on a scale of 10. There are many others in the immediate area that are better views but tougher hikes.
We head out to find Cedar Rock with a map from the visitor center. Unfortunately, we were not able to find the trail that was mentioned or noted. We ended up finding Grogans falls instead, which was very beautiful and serene. I wish they'd have the trail marked on where to turn to see the falls. Everyone who has reviewed the trail, mentions just needing to watch where other people have gone instead of there being a sign. Sorry we missed it. The pictures look nice.
Wonderful place, need to go again for a week or so, at least. Wow, did I love it there!!! Excellent place for a weekend backpacking with Friends & Family. River is awesome, creeks too, waterfalls gorgeously placed everywhere; thank You, Lord for this beautiful place... ☝️💓🥰 🧗♀️ 💕 👣 💞
Amazingly beautiful place! We were there in late July and the flowers were still pretty. I had never been to a fall with flowers before - just amazing! A couple of things to know before you go - there is absolutely no cell reception in this park - we had Verizon and AT&T and nothing worked. If you have a tracking app and have not download offline map, your GPS will track were you going but will not have a map overlay so it is only good to know how to get back to the staring point vs how close you are to the falls. From the parking lot at the Wildersness center, you need to go turn left at the front of the center, then take the first trail after you go through the gate. You will be walking next to a fence fir a while and then you will turn right on the trail uphill. The exact location to go down to see the falls will shoul up on your left when the trail is pretty flat and you can hear the falls. Sadly there is no sing, but you can see people have been through. I would say it is a moderate trail to go down to the falls that takes about 7 min to get to the falls and is soooo worth it! If you go back up to the trail and go right, you will see a sign that says Cat Gap and if you follow it to the right you will get through an enhanced forest type of trail that leads to an opening that hammock folks like to camp at. Without an offline map of the area, we could not figure out from there, so we just tracked back to the parking lot. If you are a moderate hiker, you can complete everything in about 1.5 hours allowing for picture time. Highly recommend!
To get access to the falls you must first go to the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education. If open building has a map you can follow to the falls. It's about .8 miles from building on trail. If you continue on the trail following Cat Gap Loop you will make it to John's Rock. The loop I believe is 4.4 miles long. Would rate as a moderate hike.
There are no signs, we eventually asked enough people in the trails to find it.
Fun moderate all season hike, beautiful waterfall.
After a 1.5 hike it was such a beautiful site to see the frozen waterfall.
Beautiful waterfall. I did the full loop all the way to the top down. The trail system is quite expansive and easy to take a wrong turn. The easiest way to get straight there is to go through both campgrounds and enter the trail near the bathroom. Th
This free museum is a hidden gem. The passionate volunteers gave us a personal tour and personal insights from their own lives which just added to the great experience. They have an amazingly diverse collection of unique and well curated artifacts, m
My 13yo chihuahua mix was sick, was able to get a same day appt. She had a very high fever. Dr. McPherson & staff drew blood and gave her fluids, determined meds needed. He called later in the evening to check on her. Then office called early next mo
In town for work and thought this one be a good local spot. Boy was I right. The Mac attack burger was delicious and the wings were huge and the sauces were fantastic. Would definitely come back.
This is the playground of playgrounds!! Great park for kids all ages. My 2 year old absolutely loved it here! Also a few white squirrels running around a cool little added bonus!
What a fabulous meal! The homemade ginger hot tea was absolutely excellent. Simple and delicious. The chicken pho had a lovely broth, a good amount of chicken, and very reasonably priced. Loved it.
So pretty. White squirrels all over the property. The mansion was beautiful and I'm sure in spring and summer all the green spaces with the gardens are just perfect. I will come back for sure. Updated 1 year later for Halloween: the park and trail i
Probably this was the best lox sandwich and blueberry muffin, me and my wife ever had. It was so fresh and delicious! And coffee was made just right and not super heated. Good value for your bucks. Whenever back for hiking, we will stop by. Highly re
