    Tips

    August 30, 2023

    Hiking

    White Rock Falls can be accessed from a number of different starting points, but the final spur trail is the only way to get to the actual falls. The cascade tumbles down into a shallow pool of water that is sometimes deep enough to wade into. You'll probably see some other people out on the trail, as this is a pretty popular spot since it is so easily accessed from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
