Looking Glass Falls

Height: 60 feet

One of the most popular waterfalls in Western North Carolina, Looking Glass Falls is actually a stunning 30-foot wide cascade over a sloped 60-foot surface of polished granite — Looking Glass Rock. It resembles a mirror (or “looking glass”) in the winter, as water freezes on its sides and reflects the sun. Looking Glass Creek flows past the falls through Pisgah National Forest.

Directions: From the intersection of Highway 107 and Highway 64 in Cashiers, drive east on Highway 64 for 32.7 miles. Turn left (north) onto US 276 and continue for 5.9 miles. Park on the right. View the falls from the roadside, or descend a stone staircase to the bottom of the falls.
