While Green Mountain Creek Falls isn’t as impressive as many of the waterfalls on the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway, it is quite pretty and most likely you’ll have it all to yourself. It’s located about 8 miles from downtown Blowing Rock and only a short distance from the Blue Ridge Parkway so it is the perfect waterfall for a side trip.
Green Mountain Creek Falls is about 20 feet high with a shallow plunge pool. It is roadside and you can stand right in front of the plunge pool. The waterfall empties into a culvert where the stream continues on the other side of the road.
There are pull offs on both sides of the road near the waterfall with space at each for a couple of cars. After viewing Green Mountain Creek Falls be sure to check out Linville Falls, Linn Cove Viaduct, and Silvervale Falls (another roadside waterfall located near Blowing Rock).
