About this spot
Long Branch Falls is a roughly 55-ft drop (per lidar data) reached via Forest Road 475 off US-276 north of Brevard, then a gated side road (FR 5095) for about 0.83 mile to the first creek crossing, where the creek flows under the road through a large culvert. It's cataloged by carolinawaterfalls.com and the World Waterfall Database, though the latter notes the falls' exact location, stature, and attributes have not yet been fully confirmed on the ground — treat height and footprint as provisional. No swimming or jumping culture is documented at this creek.
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.
