An approximately 50-foot cascade on Tanasee Creek in Nantahala National Forest near the Blue Ridge Parkway, reached via a forest road off NC Highway 215. A short trail leads from the parking area to the base, with Upper Dill Falls nearby.
Its 50 ft drop is taller than about 42% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Dill Falls sits on Tanasee Creek. It lies in Jackson, North Carolina. The site is on public land managed by Nantahala National Forest (USFS).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.7 miles round trip. The nearest town is Balsam Grove.
When to go: spring. Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
