Lower Whitewater Falls

The entire Whitewater Falls chain - six different waterfalls along the North and South Carolina border - is the highest series of falls in eastern North America. The Lower Whitewater Falls comprises a dramatic 200-foot drop. A moderate one-hour, two-mile hike along the Foothills Trail and a spur trail takes you to a spectacular overlook.
