Buncombe County
Waterfalls

Note: Waterfalls are dangerous. We have many accitents every year where people have fallen, frequently to their deaths, because they ventured to close to the edge or, worse, attempted to climb them. Please be careful so you - and your family - can enjoy your stay and have many pleasant memories in the years to come.

Blue Ridge Parkway
  • Glassmine Falls (milepost 361.1)
       Best viewed in the spring when water is more plentiful, the Falls are very narrow the rest of the summer. It occasionally dries up completely. You can view the falls from Glassmine Falls Overlook at milepost 361.1. The overlook is about 75 yards north of the parking area which is on the right when driving north from Asheville. Look across the valley to locate the Falls. Although the stream of water is narrow it is about 800 feet high so you should be able to see them easily even from this distance.
