Tory's Falls, Waterfall in Hanging Rock State Park, North Carolina
The waterfall drops 100 feet in a single cascade, creating vertical streams of water against dark stone cliffs within a forest setting.
The waterfall gained its name from a nearby cave called Tory's Den, which served as a shelter for British loyalists during the American Revolution.
This natural formation draws photographers and nature enthusiasts who document the seasonal changes in water flow throughout the year.
A moderate 300-yard trail from the Charlie Young Road parking area leads visitors through the forest to reach the waterfall viewing area.
The water volume varies significantly throughout seasons, transforming from strong flows after rain to minimal streams during dry periods.
