Whiteoak Creek Falls, Multi-tiered waterfall in Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina.
Whiteoak Creek Falls features a split-flow cascade formation spanning 20 feet in height, with water splitting into multiple channels over stratified rock surfaces.
The waterfall gained recognition in 2006 when explorers Kim and Ken Rudominer documented its location and characteristics within the Pisgah National Forest boundaries.
The waterfall serves as a natural meeting point for outdoor enthusiasts who gather to photograph the changing water patterns throughout different seasons.
Visitors can access the falls via a 0.01-mile trail from the parking area at White Oak Creek Road, requiring a short 75-foot scramble to reach the base.
During high water periods, the entire cliff face transforms as water covers the complete rock surface, creating different flow patterns across the jagged formation.
