Silver Run Falls, Waterfall in Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina
Silver Run Falls drops 25 feet over granite rocks into a wide pool surrounded by dense forest and small sandy beach near Cashiers.
The Nantahala National Forest established protection of Silver Run Falls in the early 20th century as part of forest conservation efforts.
Local residents gather at Silver Run Falls during summer months to swim and socialize in the cool mountain waters of Jackson County.
The waterfall requires a flat 500-foot walk from the parking area on NC-107, which accommodates up to eight vehicles across both sides.
The pool at the base of Silver Run Falls contains sparkling fragments of mica that shine in sunlight through the clear mountain water.
