Cedar Rock Falls, Natural waterfall in Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina
Description
Cedar Rock Falls is a waterfall in Pisgah National Forest that drops roughly 25 feet over a rocky ledge and splits into two separate cascades. The water flows into a pool at the base below.
History
The waterfall area became part of Pisgah National Forest in the early 1900s when forest lands across North Carolina were set aside for protection. Before that, the region had been traveled by people for generations.
Culture
The falls draw photographers and hikers who regularly visit this forest area, making it a popular stopping point along the trails.
Practical
The waterfall is reached by a marked trail that passes through varied terrain and requires moderate physical effort. Water flow changes with the seasons, so it helps to plan based on recent weather conditions.
Did you know?
The water naturally divides into two separate channels before descending over the rocks, creating a two-part cascade effect. This happens due to the specific shape of the rock formation underneath.
