About this spot
A small cascade on the upper reaches of Looking Glass Creek in Pisgah National Forest, a few miles upstream of the famous roadside Looking Glass Falls, near a pullout off US-276 (Pisgah Highway) close to Looking Glass Rock. No waterfall guide, trip report, or forum documents this exact drop beyond OpenStreetMap tagging, and no swimming or jumping culture was found for it specifically. Satellite imagery shows heavy canopy over a small drainage roughly matching the mapped creek and road, consistent with a minor unlisted cascade rather than an error. Access would be forest-service roadside; treat height, pool depth, and current conditions as unverified until a contributor reports firsthand.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
