Catawba Falls is a series of waterfalls along the headwaters of the Catawba River. The river flows over two major drops: Upper Catawba Falls, a free-fall drop, and the larger Catawba Falls cascading downstream. Though part of Pisgah National Forest, public access to the falls was restricted for years until the Foothills Conservancy purchased land in 2005 and 2007, with the creation of a trailhead. In 2010, the land was transferred to the U.S. Forest Service, officially opening the falls to visitors.

Crabtree Falls is located near the McDowell and Yancey County boundary in North Carolina. The 70-foot cascade on Big Crabtree Creek have delicate appearance with water cascading over small ledges before flowing into a clear pool. The area, once known as Murphy's Falls and home to a small community, was renamed Crabtree Falls by the National Park Service during the Blue Ridge Parkway construction in the 1930s. The trailhead is situated at mile marker 339.5 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, leading to a footbridge at the falls. A loop version of the trail is accessible from the Crabtree Falls Campground parking area and is about 2.5 miles long, with a challenging 0.9-mile descent and a gentler 1.5-mile ascent back to the start.

Starting point for numerous trails in the valley.

Linville Falls is the combination of 3 cascades, which help create one of the most visited spectacles in the entirety of Pisgah National Forest. There are a bunch of different areas where you can view the falls, but this is the most popular overlook on this side of the river.

The Chimney View is unique because you can see the upper and lower falls at the same time against a backdrop of rocky cliffs. This is a great spot for photography.
