North Carolina Waterfalls

North Carolina waterfalls are primarily located on the western side of the state. The state has many waterfalls that are easily accessible either by car or by a short walk. Of course for the more adventurous there are difficult-to-reach waterfalls as well.

Below is a list of North Carolina waterfalls that I have visited at some point. Each waterfall page will have detailed information (when available) and pictures. The detailed information includes my own personal rating, GPS location, topographic maps, hike detail, and specific waterfall photo tips.  I also provide road directions and google map links.

Also, now available is an online gallery of my finest North Carolina waterfalls.  Below is a sample slideshow of these waterfalls.

While not as detailed, there is additional information on other waterfalls in North Carolina that visitors have submitted.  You can find this list near the bottom of the page.

Did I mention videos as well?  Here is a video playlist of North Carolina waterfalls.
