Roaring Fork Falls, Cascade waterfall in Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina.
The water drops 100 feet in multiple tiers through a densely forested setting, creating a long cascade along Roaring Fork Creek.
The trail passes concrete bunkers that stored explosives during the industrial development of the Pisgah National Forest in the early 1900s.
Local residents and visitors gather at this natural site throughout the year to photograph the falls and explore the surrounding mountain environment.
The waterfall sits 2.2 miles north of Blue Ridge Parkway on NC Highway 80, with parking available at the Busick Work Center entrance.
During periods of heavy rainfall, the cascade transforms into a powerful rush of water that creates patterns across the multi-tiered rock face.
