Description
Roaring Fork Creek Falls in the Pisgah National Forest is a long cascade of about 100 ft. (about 50 ft. high) in a very beautiful setting. Located just two miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway via NC Highway 80, it's at the base of Mt. Mitchell. Down a one-lane road get there early or you may have to go back when parking becomes available, and do not block the gates.
The hike is about half a mile to the waterfall is easy up a mostly flat forest service road. So it's quick and easy to enjoy! Roaring Fork Creek feeds into the nearby Toe River and the falls is surrounded by rhododendron.
