We spent the weekend in Brevard to hike. Pisgah Forest has some great waterfalls. Some very easy to get to and others a little more of a challenge. Trails very well marked. We will return.

The Ranger Station has a great new way to pick a hike that is tailored to your hiking ability, length of hike etc. We used the new kiosk and picked a 4 mile roundtrip hike, got the maps from the very helpful volunteer staff and away we went. The trails were very well marked, parking available, don't forget to bring... More

Cascading waterfalls, bubbling creeks, and greenery just about everywhere you look ... Found the volunteer rangers informative and friendly. A side trip to the Pisgah Wildlife Center provided an opportunity to view ( 1 of 3 state fish hatcheries) as well a chance of feeding the rainbow trout for a mere 25 cents. the bird feeders thru out allow a...

Pisgah National Forest is a remarkable destination featuring waterfalls and stunning scenery. The entrance was across the street from the hotel we stayed at in Brevard. Take a day and hike up the back side of Looking Glass Mountain but be sure to take water and food. It's three thousand feet and not for the meek. There are hundreds of... More

This was our favorite day of hiking. The forest was only a short drive from our bed and breakfast in Brevard and we got to see a bunch of waterfalls in a relatively small area. Short drives and then short hikes from one fall to the next. Great for those who are not looking for a hard strenuous hike. (You... More

Pisgah National Forest is such an amazing place.....It is home to numerous beautiful waterfalls and has miles of hiking trails to explore. If you are coming to North Carolina to visit waterfalls for the 1st time, this would be an excellent area to start in. Trust me you won't regret.

My first hiking experience after moving to Blue Ridge Mtns. Just gorgeous around every turn. Do recommend good hiking boots and stick, however. Don't rush; make a day of it!

This forest is a gem and is a great place to take a hike or a drive. It is a day trip from Asheville. The Davidson River has trout and there are pull offs to have a picnic. Please take any trash with you when you leave.
