High Falls

Height: 120 feet

Also known as Cullowhee Falls, this waterfall is just below the Lake Glenville Dam. It becomes a stunningly powerful waterfall when the dam is released on certain days throughout the year, making it very popular with kayakers. The hike is extremely strenuous on the way back up.

Directions: From Cashiers, follow Highway 107 north and turn left on Pine Creek Road. In two miles, look for the High Falls sign on the right (across from the Pines Recreation Area).
