Description
Dry Falls is a 65-foot high waterfall on the Cullasaja River located just a few miles from Highlands in North Carolina in the Nantahala National Forest. It is part of a series of waterfalls on an 8.7-mile (14 km) stretch of the river that eventually ends with Cullasaja Falls.
The falls flow over an overhanging cliff which allows visitors to walk up under the falls. However, when the water flow is high (as it is here) those intrepid enough will get a little wet.
The falls are located at the roadside on US Highway 64, and it is only a short walk down the trail to reach them. There is a parking area on the side of the road, where visitors can park before walking the short path with stairs to the falls.
During 2008-2009 the Forest Service made improvements to the parking area, which included renovation and expansion and the addition of bathroom facilities. A new walkway and overlook were also constructed adjacent to the parking area.
There are other very worthy and beautiful waterfalls in the area to visit, such as the majestic Whitewater Falls and delicate Bridal Veil Falls to name just two of them.
