About this spot
Blue Valley Falls sits on Nantahala National Forest land in the Blue Valley area near Highlands, NC, along the same Overflow Creek drainage as the well-known Glen Falls hike. OpenStreetMap confirms it as a real, named feature at this location, and the surrounding land is public (Blue Valley dispersed camping/forest), not private. However, no independent trip reports, height figures, or swimming/jumping accounts turned up in research — treat pool depth, access trail, and hazards as unverified until a contributor documents them firsthand.
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.
