An approximately 60-foot cascade on a tributary of the West Fork Pigeon River in Pisgah National Forest, about a mile north of the Blue Ridge Parkway via NC Highway 215. The short access trail follows an old logging railroad grade along Flat Laurel Creek.
At 60 ft, it stands above roughly 48% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Tributary of West Fork Pigeon River. You'll find it in Haywood, North Carolina. It is protected within Pisgah National Forest (USFS).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Canton, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
