Whitewater Falls

Lake Toxaway, NC

About: This is the pinnacle of spectacle – cascades stretching for 411 feet. And those cascades are arrayed in narrow rivulets and rushes that register in the brain as aesthetically perfect. If you don’t feel this waterfall somewhere deep in your soul, you may want to reexamine your life.

Difficulty: Not strenuous, though the paved path is a bit uneven, which may prove a challenge to wheelchair users, though that shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting to this magnificent waterfall.
