About this spot
An 80-foot cascading waterfall in Pisgah National Forest, reached via a short, steep quarter-mile trail off unpaved Cathey's Creek Road. The falls slide down a rock face into a pool at the base; getting an open view typically means wading into the pool. Parking is a single roadside pull-off just past power lines on the gravel road; the trail is narrow and can be slippery when wet. No documented jumping culture was found — guides describe this as a wading and viewing spot rather than a diving destination, so treat any jump as unverified and at your own risk.
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.
