Blue Ridge Parkway Waterfalls to Seek Out

Waterfalls along the Blue Ridge Parkway are worth a short detour. Some are close to the road, while others need a gentle walk through the woods. Listen for the sound of water before you see the falls.

Wear shoes with good grip, because paths near water can be slippery. Bring a small bag for a snack and water, and leave the area clean for the next visitor.

Visit in the morning for quieter trails and softer light for photos. Do not climb on wet rocks. For a helpful list, see the Blue Ridge Parkway waterfalls guide: https://roammanual.com/blue-ridge-parkway-waterfalls/
