Waterfall · Nature / Park
Get an up-close look at a natural waterfall at Bridal Veil Falls, set just off of the highway in a national forest. Pay a visit to the 14 m (45 ft) tall waterfall by pulling into the roadway at its base, from where you can admire the cascade as it tumbles down the hills and rock faces above you. Take a unique journey by driving or walking underneath the falls themselves, as the roadway and visitor path curve behind the water and are partially protected by a recess in the rock. Keep in mind that though you can generally pass through and remain dry, the waterfall can still get you soaked if the stream is high. Plan to visit Bridal Veil Falls during your Highlands vacation using our convenient Highlands attractions app.

  • By Brandon McNeely
    Great little waterfall! The biggest perk to this one is that it is easily accessible even for handicap visitors. You can drive withing feet of the falls and little to no walking required.
  • By April Schoenmaker
    Small but nice waterfall. Has a small parking area so you can walk behind the fall. No parking fee required. On the roadside with no hike or stairs required so great for people with mobility issues. Very close to dry falls so a great stop if your going to so both.
