The Davidson River flows through the Cove Creek area of Pisgah National Forest and creates several cascading rapids and waterfalls. Whaleback Falls and the swimming area can be easily accessed from the Cove Creek parking area; the pool varies in depth depending on the time of year. A more secluded adventure could include journeying on the Davidson River Trail.
