Magnificent view over the valley.

Very nice view of the waterfall

Duggers Creek Falls is an underrated waterfall just off the side of Linville Falls Road. This is an easy waterfall to add onto the start, end, or middle of your run since the trail accessing the falls is so short.

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.

Upper Creek Falls is a 50-foot tall waterfall that only half a mile from the main parking area. You can add on some mile on the highway and connect to other nearby trails and forest roads if you want to do more than just the one-mile loop around the falls.

At 3,940 feet, Table Rock Mountain is a rocky summit in the Linville Gorge Wilderness. It's one of the most visited peaks in the entire wilderness, but the other trails apart from the main summit trail offer a lot of solitude. There are various overlooks along this long-ridge peak.

The Big Bear Trail, that leads to the falls of the same name, is one of the newest in the South Mountain State Park and makes a visit to the waterfalls possible. Compared to the famous High Shoals Falls, those falls are way less popular (but no less beautiful!) and if you're lucky, you can enjoy the waterfalls without any other people.

Measurements of High Shoals Falls range from 50 to 80 feet, and the giant cascade is the star of the park for good reason. If you run on one of the trails past the falls, you'll see way fewer people than on the waterfall trails, themselves. Snap a picture and keep on running!
