Stayed there for hours, enjoying the easily accessible falls. Can just walk right under them. That water is really cold even in the summertime. So photogenic. Interesting array of wildlife. Only about a 10-15 minute walk from the road. Getting out is hard because you have to pull out and cannot see quickly approaching oncoming traffic. Fortunately someone guided us out. Can get crowded, go earlier in the day.

The Vordach zipline is a great family experience. Dave, Vlad, Gabby & Clair are patient and caring and took their time to make sure we were safe and comfortable. The runs were fun especially the vertical tree walk, that had the aderdiline pumping. We would definitely do this again.
The price is reasonable for the time and number of runs you do $27.50 per person what a great deal.

Following paved walkways from the parking area, you can walk directly underneath the tumbling 75-foot waterfall.

Stopped by for our second time on a beautiful Easter Day. The trail to the fall is extremely easy and the falls are beautiful. Best part is you can walk underneath the falls. You get a little misty but if felt good. Well worth the stop.

We came here to hike the trail to rainbow falls and first went in the visitor center. While a modest center it was nice. Then drove on down to the trail head for Rainbow Falls which was the Grassy Ridge parking area. The trail was rated as strenuous and 1.5 miles long. However we did not find it to be very difficult, I am 62 and in okay shape. My GPS recorded the length to the falls at 1.66 miles. It starts out downhill and even though a great day weather wise was very uncrowded. A few spots where you had to step on strategically place rocks to avoid wet feet or in my case with waterproof hiking shoes, ankle high, just stomped through with no problem. The falls were well worth the hike and if you continue the trail after the Rainbow Falls you can reach Turtle Back Falls which are nice to view. My brother says in the summer they float off the falls in to the pool at the bottom. They also can be reached from the other direction from the highway leading to the state park. I hope to return to try the other waterfall trail they have.

Stopped by the market after dinner and enjoyed looking around. They have a large selection of fruits and vegetables. They also has a variety of cheeses and pickled items. This little place is definitely worth a visit.
7. Whitewater Falls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 331 reviews
A favorite spot for hikers and picnickers, this scenic area features the Whitewater River dropping more than 400 feet in a series of cascading falls.
Reviewed By D2958ZXgarym - King, United States
Nine miles south of Sapphire on NC 281 is Whitewater Falls. There is a $2 per vehicle fee for parking at the lot, and picnic tables and rest rooms are located here. The Whitewater River, while etching its way through the Jocassee Gorge, provides spectators with an awe-inspiring cascade. With a drop of 411 feet, Whitewater Falls is the tallest cascade in the southeast. An easy ¼-mile handicap-accessible trail leads to the first observation point; a set of steps goes to a lower viewing deck. These two observation areas provide the only views of the falls; there are no trails that lead any closer.

Located in Westernmost North Carolina, Highlands is a tiny two-stop-light town with a burgeoning food and wine scene and great mountain scenery. The Bascom offers year-round education (take a pottery class with resident pottery master Frank Vickey) including painting, pottery, and classes for children. There is a decent exhibition space with a rotating schedule of renowned and emerging artists, as well as a regular schedule of receptions, openings, barn dances and an annual fundraising event that focuses on food & wine called Collective Spirits.

We are visiting the area for a few weeks. Spotted an advertisement for the "Groovin' on the Green" Friday night summer concert series on the Village Green. Sounded like fun, and it was. The only fly in the ointment was finding the actual venue.
All maps indicate the Village Green is on the southwest corner of routes 64 and 107. Went south from the intersection on 107. All we saw were various shops on the west side of the road. Turned around and went back to the intersection. Traveled west on 64 for less than 500 feet and saw the sign, "The Village Green." pulled into a smallish parking lot with perhaps two-dozen parking spaces. Parked the car and followed the crushed-gravel trail past the playground and picnic shelters. We were about to give up when we heard some amplified voices to the south of us. Continued on the trail and found the venue.
Found a nice spot at the back (in the shade). The concert was good. From our vantage point we could watch all of the action.
I walked around during the intermission and it looks like the "official" parking for large events is at the library and post office.
The Village Green website does have parking information, but it made no sense to me. Suggestion: Add a map to the website.
