About this spot
In Pisgah National Forest, start from Main Street (SR1303) at Elk Park, NC and turn onto Elk River Road (SR 1305). Continue for 4 miles, with the final 1.5 miles on gravel surface, until you reach a small parking area with picnic facilities. From there, a brief walk leads directly to the falls.
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.
