Bridal Veil Falls, Roadside waterfall in Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina
The Bridal Veil Falls cascades down 45 feet over granite rocks, creating a natural formation that extends outward from the cliff face.
The original Highway 64 curved directly behind the waterfall until safety concerns from ice formation led to its closure for vehicular traffic.
The waterfall represents a significant feature of Macon County's natural landscape, drawing photographers and nature enthusiasts throughout the seasons.
A designated parking area adjacent to US Highway 64 provides easy access to view the falls, located 2.3 miles north of Highlands.
Visitors can walk behind the falling water on a paved path, experiencing the waterfall from an unusual perspective beneath the cascade.
