Length: 2.5 miles
Rating: Moderate/Strenuous
Whitewater Falls has a drop of 411 feet. The trail goes up to an
elevation of 3200 and then follows a ridge line to the NC-SC border.
The third trail starting from the Whitewater parking area is the
western extension of the Foothills trail. From the overlook continue up
along Whitewater River and cross NC 281 south of the vehicular bridge.
Again stay on the trail and observe cautionary signs. The hike may also be
started here since there is some parking on the shoulder of NC 281.
