Key Falls

Key Falls is a waterfall near Brevard that flows over multiple tiers, creating separate streams as it descends. The water moves across natural rock ledges, forming a layered cascade through the landscape.

The waterfall sits on the grounds of Key Falls Inn, a Victorian property built in the 1860s. The historic building has shaped this location for generations.

The natural formation serves as a representation of the water features found throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains region of North Carolina.

You can reach the falls by walking a short gravel path that starts near the property entrance and is easy to navigate. Parking is available at the starting point, making access straightforward for most visitors.

The waterfall flows through private property but remains open to the public through a special arrangement with the owners. This access agreement allows visitors to experience this hidden natural feature that many travelers overlook.
