There's a 8.8 mile round trip hike by the falls..it is awesome! Full of waterfalls! Just a beautiful place.

Incredible! Best hike of my life so far. The waterfall is right there when you park so if that's all you're after, it's easy. But if you want an amazing, relatively easy, hike just go up the stairs to the top of the waterfall and follow the trail. There are more falls and unceasing beauty beyond. I went about 2.5 miles back before turning around. Absolutely stunning!

Absolutely gorgeous 90 foot falls in the Cherokee National Forest!! Family agreed it was well worth the time to get there. You drive right past the falls and there is no hike so it would be perfect for those with mobility issues. Absolutely wonderful piece of nature.

Absolutely breathtaking. Watched some kayakers head down baby falls and could have stood in the spray of Bald River Falls for hours. The sound is so soothing.

Isn't there a smaller 15ft. Waterfall nearby that plunges into a pool of water on Bald River or one of the creeks nearby? I used to know the name and can't think of it.

You don't have to leave your car to see the falls... Very small parking area directly over the bridge. You can't miss them.

Where does the road lead, beyond the fall?

Donna Hawks | Jan 25, 2018
Eric Fielden | Jan 26, 2018

It ends at a 4x4 off-road trails. There's a little camp community with Facilities and lots of fishing. There's a store with bait, propane and food. There's also a fish hatchery. Very rustic, the real kind, not the fabricated. This place is locked into the 60s or 70s.
