Corbin Creek Falls, Cascading waterfall in Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina.
Corbin Creek Falls is a waterfall in Nantahala National Forest near the border where Georgia meets the Carolinas. The water drops in stages over rocky terrain, creating a series of cascades as it flows down the creek.
The waterfall formed through geological processes over many years as water carved through rock layers. The land became part of the national forest system in the early 1900s to protect its natural resources.
The waterfall forms part of a collection of natural water features in the region, including the neighboring Upper and Lower Whitewater Falls.
The ground around the waterfall is steep and slippery with loose rocks, especially after rain. Stay on marked paths and keep distance from the edge to remain safe during your visit.
Height measurements for the falls vary between sources, ranging from 400 to 600 feet depending on where the drop is measured from. This variation reflects how challenging it is to accurately document features in this remote and rugged terrain.
