Posted on April 4, 2016 Written by 2 Comments

Nearby Areas: Cashiers, Nantahala National Forest   State: North Carolina   Ease of Trail: Easy

Silver Run Falls 2Silver Run Falls is a pretty 25 foot waterfall located in Nantahala National Forest located about 10 minutes from Cashiers, North Carolina. There’s a short well-worn trail through a scenic wooded area, about 0.25 feet in length to the base of the waterfall. Round trip would be about 0.5 miles.

Silver Run Falls is perfect outing for the whole family, however it is not wheelchair accessible. It’s easy to get to, with a clearly defined gravel and dirt trail that leads straight to the waterfall.

You will cross a small wooden bridge near the waterfall. There are a few steps at the beginning and end of the bridge. Right after you cross there is a sandy, rocky area off to your right. Walk out to the large flat rocks for the best view of the waterfall.

There is a large pool of water in front of the waterfall, which many people use as a swimming hole during hot summer days. Get there early to avoid the crowds.

Silver Run Falls 1The parking area for Silver Run Falls is about four miles south from the intersection of Highway 64 and Highway 107 in Cashiers,  North Carolina.
