Whitewater Falls

A short walk up a paved path brings you to A stunning waterfall. There is an optional stairway that takes you down to the bottom for a whole different perspective.

My husband and I have been coming to Highlands / Cashiers for years with our 4 kids. Now all in college we adopted a puppy and brought him with us. We have walked him at this park almost everyday. It is so beautiful. Art sculptures, colorful flowers, gardens, bridges, benches, picnic tables, grills, pavilions, huge community center and a fantastic wooded playground area that our kids would have LOVED. So much open space that is very well maintained. Perfect place for our daily walks.

Panthertown Valley

Reviewed By tumbleweedchris - Asheville, United States

I visited Panthertown and took an all day hike up, down, and around mountains and waterfalls. I purchased the map you can find online by Burt Kornegay, and have a hard time imagining hiking without it. The trails have scant blazing and there are many social trails. You can easily get turned around if you are not prepared. As an added bonus, the map will include the social trails that will lead you to hidden waterfalls that very few people visit. I have lots more exploration to go at this park, but it's the most fun I have had outdoors in West Carolina. The best part is that this park is less frequented by others and you are likely not to see many people during the day. This is a must do when venturing into nature in the area.

The last time I was able to swim in an ice cold waterfall swimming hole my was in Hawaii! Didn’t know I could do it right here in NC. Absolutely beautiful and amazing experience. Water is ICE COLD ... woulda been even better had it been super hot out! So exhilarating.. and super easy walk to it! Parking can b dangerous cuz it’s basically on the side of a highway.

Chattooga River Loop Trail

Reviewed By phosford - Huntersville, United States

Cashiers is a wonderful get-away for outdoor lovers. We stayed in a motel with our dog and enjoyed hiking especially the CRL trail. Saw many gorgeous waterfalls. Hike up White Mountain and an overlook near the nature museum. Cashiers is often overshadowed by Highlands but it much more affordable with quaint restaurants and great shopping (although not as convenient as Highlands). A little more driving to find the good places to go.
