Known as the “Land of Waterfalls,” the Brevard area is home to more than 250 waterfalls, Pisgah National Forest and the endless beauty of North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains.
North Carolina’s Asheville "No-Hike" Waterfalls Road Trip takes you across Western NC to 12 stunning waterfalls, all easily accessible with no long hikes and just 330 miles of scenic driving. You’ll visit Whitewater Falls, the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi at 811 feet, with powerful, tiered cascades crashing down a mountain gorge. At Dry Falls, you can walk behind a 65-foot sheet of water without getting wet. Nearby, Bridal Veil Falls flows gently over the road itself and you can walk right beneath it. Sliding Rock offers a natural waterslide where you can ride 60 feet down a smooth rock face into a chilly mountain plunge pool. With Asheville as your hub, this route offers some of the most accessible and spectacular waterfalls in the Southeast!
