About this spot
20-ft waterfall on Grogan Creek in Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, reached via a moderate ~1.9-mile trail (Cat Gap Trail to Butter Gap Trail) starting behind the Pisgah Fish Hatchery; often paired with nearby Cedar Rock Falls. Free to visit (donations accepted at the visitor center), open year-round. The falls cascade down the rock face in separated vertical channels rather than a single sheet, which suggests a shallow, broken base rather than a deep pool. No swimming or jumping culture documented.
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.
