Fun Facts

You can enjoy the breathtaking view of the 90-foot waterfall directly from your car, as it is located right off the Cherohala Skyway.

The falls are named after the Bald River, which flows through the Cherokee National Forest and is known for its clear, pristine waters.

The falls' stunning beauty and easy access make it a favorite location for capturing the perfect nature shot, especially during the fall when the foliage is vibrant.

Whether it's the lush greenery of summer or the icy formations of winter, the falls offer a unique and picturesque view in every season.

The falls are located within the Bald River Gorge Wilderness, which spans over 3,700 acres and offers numerous hiking trails and wildlife viewing opportunities.

The Cherokee National Forest, where the falls are located, was established in 1920 and has a rich history tied to the Cherokee people and early American settlers.
