About this spot
Upper Toms Spring Falls (Upper Tom Springs Branch Falls) is a roughly 35-foot waterfall in Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, reached via a nearly 4-mile loop from the Davidson River/FR-475 parking area that also passes the lower Toms Spring (Daniel Ridge) Falls. The route follows a graded former logging road with a few steep sections. No swimming or jumping culture is documented; it's described as a scenic hiking destination.
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.
