Gorges State Park - Plunging
waterfalls, rugged river gorges, sheer rock
walls and one of the greatest concentrations of
rare and unique species in the
eastern
United States are found within Gorges State
Park. An elevation that rises 2,000 feet in only
four miles, combined with rainfall in excess of
80 inches per year, creates a temperate rain
forest and supports a collection of waterfalls.
Whitewater falls - Upper
Whitewater Falls, located in the Nantahala
National Forest near Cashiers, North Carolina,
drops
over 411 feet and is the highest falls east of
the Rocky Mountains. Lower Whitewater Falls,
located just across the border in South
Carolina, drops another 400 feet. The rugged
terrain around these two waterfalls remains wild
and undeveloped. A paved, wheel-chair
accessible walkway leads from the parking lot to
the upper overlook which provides an excellent
view of the upper Whitewater Falls. A lower
overlook is located at the bottom of 154 wooden
steps. Because of the difficult terrain
surrounding Whitewater Falls, visitors are urged
not venture off the established trails.
