It’s so here’s a list of some of our favorite area waterfalls that will surely take your breath away and offer some cool, mountain water to beat the heat. In no particular order:

🌊 Dry Falls

A 75-foot stunner you can walk behind! Feel the mist and hear the roar just steps from the parking area. Easy access, unforgettable experience.

🌉 Bridal Veil Falls

Drive right up to this delicate cascade just off US-64. Rainy days make it even more magical—like nature’s own bridal veil.

🏞 Cullasaja Falls

Towering 200+ feet down the Cullasaja Gorge, this roadside marvel is visible from scenic pull-offs. A dramatic and powerful stop on the Waterfall Byway.

🍃 Big Laurel Falls

Tucked in Nantahala National Forest, this 30-foot waterfall is a favorite for peaceful, dog-friendly hikes along a gentle, creekside trail.

🧗 Quarry Falls (aka “Bust‑Your‑Butt Falls”)

Adventurous spirit? Slide down the rocks into a cool swimming hole! A classic Franklin summer stop with big splash energy.
