High Falls Trail in Cullowhee, NC is home to the impressive High Falls or Cullowhee Falls, a 150-ft. waterfall located below the dam for Lake Glenville. While the waterfall is usually a small stream cascading over the cliffs of the Tuckasegee Gorge, it becomes the most powerful waterfall in the North Carolina mountains during certain times of the year when extra water is released from the dam for whitewater kayakers. A hiking trail, consisting of many flights of stairs, provides access to the base of the falls for both kayakers and hikers.
The trail, requested by American Whitewater, offers access to the waterfalls every day of the year. Visitors can enjoy climbing rocks, sitting by the towering cliffs, and dipping their feet in the refreshing water on most days when the water flow is low. The trail is located in a picturesque setting and provides a strenuous but rewarding hike back up. The High Falls Trail is a must-visit destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers in the Cullowhee area.
