About this spot
Remote, largely undocumented waterfall in the Nantahala National Forest area near Hayesville (Clay County). It is independently tagged as a waterfall in OpenStreetMap at this exact point, but no hiking guide, trip report, or local waterfall roundup (including the Clay County guide covering nearby Leatherwood/Fires Creek Falls) mentions it by name. Height, trail access, and water conditions are unconfirmed, and no swimming or jumping culture was found. Treat as unverified backcountry terrain until a firsthand report surfaces.
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.
