Welcome!

I’m pretty passionate about hiking to waterfalls. So much so that I want to share my experiences with the world. I’ve spent the last few years hiking trails to waterfalls along the Appalachian Mountains (mostly in North Carolina) to bring you the ultimate beginner’s guide for hikes in the region. Almost all of the hikes on this website are good for people who don’t get out much, have small children, or can’t physically do moderately strenuous activities.

This website is divided into several regions with descriptions to over 100 different waterfalls. If you want to know more or want help putting together a good waterfalling road trip, feel free to contact me.

Enjoy!

Updates

12/19/23 – Got a chance to stay in the Lake Lure area for a couple of days and made my way to Camp Minnehaha Falls. It’s on private property, but you can probably find this one easily enough if you try.

8/3/23 – In what might be my only waterfall adventure of 2023, we went out on our babymoon for one last hurrah and stopped at several waterfalls. I added a listing for the Nantahala Cascade and updated the Dry Falls page.

10/7/22 – Finally got back out to see some falls this year on a roadtrip to Upstate New York. I’ve added new listings for Brush Creek, Pipestem, and Sandstone Falls in West Virginia, as well as Enfield Falls in New York.
