Hidden Falls, Waterfall in Hanging Rock State Park, North Carolina, United States.
Hidden Falls is a waterfall in Hanging Rock State Park that flows through rocky terrain surrounded by thick forest. The water descends in stages over stone formations, creating small pools between the rocks.
The waterfall became part of North Carolina's state park system in the 1930s when the Civilian Conservation Corps developed trails and infrastructure for public access. This work transformed the area into a managed recreational destination.
Local nature programs at Hidden Falls introduce visitors to the regional flora, fauna, and geological formations through educational activities and guided walks.
Reaching this waterfall requires a moderate hike on marked trails that can be slippery when wet. Sturdy shoes with good grip are essential for safely navigating the rocky and damp terrain around the water.
This waterfall flows throughout the year and provides a stable habitat for several salamander species found in the region. The permanently moist environment around the water supports these amphibians that rely on such conditions.
