About this spot
Boomer Inn Falls is a real ~30-foot National Forest waterfall off NC-215, reached via Forest Road 97 on a short 0.8-mile round trip. Access is seasonal and unreliable: FR97 is normally gated and typically opens only during hunting season (roughly September 1–January 1), so it is not dependably reachable during swimming season. No swim or jump culture is 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.
