Silver Run Falls

Silver Run Falls is a 25-foot waterfall a few miles from the town of Cashiers, North Carolina.[1][2] The parking area, trail to the falls, and the falls are all within the Nantahala National Forest.[3] It is popular with locals and tourists alike. The falls are located after a mostly flat 0.4 mile out and back trail.[3] Additionally, there is a second secret falls located above Silver Run. On the left side of the cliff face of the falls, just inside the woods, there is a slope of granite with many roots for handholds leading to the top of the falls. Follow the trail up top until you hear the second falls on your right.
