Whitewater Falls

Height: 411 feet

Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. These amazing falls plunge over 400 feet into the river below. Because of the rugged terrain with steep slopes and rock cliffs, the area is mostly wild. Undisturbed by man, many varieties of ferns, mosses, fungi flourish, along with beautiful native plants, wildflowers, and berries.

Directions: From Cashiers, drive south on Highway 107 for 9.3 miles. Shortly after crossing the state line into South Carolina, turn left at the sign for Whitewater Falls. Continue 2.3 miles to the intersection with SC 130, which becomes NC 281 at the North Carolina state line. Just beyond this point is a sign for the entrance to Whitewater Falls.
