Quarry Falls, Waterfall in Macon County, United States.
The Cullasaja River forms a 20-foot cascade with multiple tiers, creating a deep pool at the bottom of Quarry Falls in North Carolina.
The waterfall received its name from an old quarry site across the street, which now serves as the main parking area for visitors.
Local residents gave this waterfall nicknames reflecting its natural water slide characteristics, showing their connection to this natural feature.
Access to Quarry Falls requires a 6.7-mile drive west from Highlands on US Highway 64, with parking available on both sides of the road.
The waterfall includes a natural water slide formation where water flows over smooth rock surfaces into a large swimming pool.
