Where the Waterfalls Are
Edneyville sits in or near the Blue Ridge Escarpment and the Land of Waterfalls area of North Carolina. Transylvania County and its neighbors hold the densest concentration of falls in the state. In DuPont State Recreational Forest, Triple Falls, Hooker Falls and High Falls line the Little River within a short distance of one another. Rainbow Falls is a hiking destination on the Horsepasture River, and Sliding Rock in Pisgah National Forest is a natural water slide over smooth rock. To the east, Pearsons Falls near Saluda drops through a protected wooded glen, and the Hickory Nut Gorge around Lake Lure adds steep cliffside falls. Rivers here plunge off the escarpment edge in quick succession, producing tall drops and long cascades over bare granite. Read the North Carolina waterfall guide.
