Logging Road Falls is a 20 waterfall located in the Pisgah National Forest, near Brevard. Logging Road Falls is the fourth waterfall accessible from the Log Hollow Falls trail. The Log Hollow Falls trail is well defined and follows a Forest Service Road that is closed to vehicles.
You park right in front of the gated road. There are two options available from the parking area – a trail leading up into the woods and the gated FS5042. You’ll want to walk around the gate and follow the service road trail into a large open area.
Less than 0.25 miles from the parking area, you will reach the first bridge. The trail for Discovery Falls is immediately after the bridge on your right. Cross the bridge and continue on to the second bridge. You’ll see Log Hollow Falls on your right.
After crossing the second bridge, continue uphill on the trail and after another 10 minutes you will reach Logging Road Falls, which is visible from the trail on your right hand side.
To return to the parking area, simply turn around and walk back the way you came. Before visiting Logging Road Falls, check ahead and make sure you can reach this waterfall as sometimes the connecting roads may be closed due to snow (especially from January to March) or flooding in the area.
