Hanging Rock State Park – Lower Cascades Falls

Lower Cascades Falls at Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina is a hidden gem, offering visitors a serene escape into nature’s splendor. This picturesque waterfall, approximately 35 feet high, cascades gracefully over a rugged rock face into a tranquil pool below, surrounded by lush greenery. The short, moderate hike to the falls winds through a forested landscape, providing glimpses of the area’s diverse flora and fauna. Once there, the sound of the water and the cool, misty air create a peaceful ambiance, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and reflection. The falls are particularly striking after a period of rain, when the water flow is at its peak, showcasing the raw beauty of the park’s natural environment.
