Moravian Falls, Waterfall in Wilkes County, North Carolina, United States
Moravian Falls cascades over bedrock for 42 feet, creating a natural formation that flows into a lower plunge pool near a reproduction mill.
The Owen family settled near the falls around 1750, and the Moravian Church later acquired substantial land in the area without establishing a settlement.
The location became a publishing center in the late 1800s, producing several newspapers including The Yellow Jacket with substantial circulation numbers.
Visitors need permission from the Moravian Falls Campground office to access the falls, which are visible from Falls Road, half a mile from the entrance.
The Benjamin Hubbard House near the falls stands as a registered historical structure, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
