This was one of the first waterfalls that I ever visited. Whenever I'm in Highlands, I always return. It's right on the road, so it's accessible to everyone.

Takes just a second to stop and see. Suggest you make it part of a trip to Cliffside recreational area, which offers a couple of great hikes, swimming, fishing. More

This is a small waterfall that has a area you can drive a car or motorcycle underneath it as it flows. You won't get real wet. Easy to stop, see it and go...no hiking back into some woods. More
