Stone Mountain State Park – Middle Falls -

Middle Falls is a sliding rock waterfall in Stone Mountain State Park. It stands about 20 feet tall, and you can reach it by taking the Middle Falls / Lower Falls Trail off the main Stone Mountain Loop Trail, which also leads to the Lower Falls. There will be a Middle Falls sign on the trail pointing to a short path leading to the falls. Visiting Middle Falls is a fun side trip if you’re already exploring the park. If you like finding waterfalls, it’s definitely worth checking out.

We’ve heard that people sometimes slide down the rocks into the pool below, but we didn’t see anyone swimming there during our two visits. We also read about a trail to the base of the falls, but we couldn’t find it ourselves.

@thesociableadventurer Middle Falls is a sliding rock-type waterfall located within Stone Mountain State Park. It is roughly 20 feet high and can be accessed by a trail off the main Stone Mountain Loop Trail leading to both the Middle and Lower Falls. Exploring the falls is a great side adventure from some of Stone Mountain’s main attractions. If you enjoy hunting for waterfalls, then it is totally worth the effort. We have read that the falls have been used for sliding into the pool below, but we have not seen anyone swimming in that area the two times we went. We have also read that there is a trail that leads to the base of the falls, which we did not attempt because the trail was not apparent to us. https://thesociableadventurer.com/stone-mountain-state-park-middle-falls/ #RoaringGapNC #AlleghanyCounty #AlleghanyCountyNC #WilkesCounty #WilkesCountyNC #VisitNC #CelebratingNC #discover_carolinas #discoverNC #bestofthetarheelstate #NC #NorthCarolina #Adventure #Discover #Explore #StoneMountain #StoneMountainNC #StatePark #Hiking #greattrailsstate #greattrailsnc #thesociableadventurer ♬ Run – Rainbow Kitten Surprise
