  • If you're driving the Cherohala Skyway, within the first few miles you'll see a sign for a scenic road to Bald River Falls. This is definitely a stop you want to make. It is a few miles down a skinny....  more

  • Loved the bottom of the falls. But also enjoyed hiking up trail to top of falls. Parking is limited but doable. Very green trees! Cool water. Yes I waded out into it.

  • 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!
  • It's worth the drive! This is a beautiful spot and the drive to the falls is breathtaking. The road is a little narrow so take your time to enjoy nature. You will want to cross the bridge to reach a parking area. Most people will walk on to the bridge for that perfect photo! There are steps that will lead you up to the very top of the falls, just be sure to have good walking shoes on and watch your step. If you're in the area this is a must see stop! We really enjoyed our visit.
