Roaring Fork Falls

You'll find this one in the Toecane District of Pisgah National Forest with a 30 foot rush down a narrow, zigzag slide.  From the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 344.1 (between Little Switzerland and Mt. Mitchell), exit north onto NC Hwy. 80.  Drive north 2.3 miles, turn left onto FS 472 (South Toe River Road), just before Mt. Mitchell Golf Course.  Take first left (after 0.1 mile) at sign indicating Roaring Fork Falls and Busick Work Center.  The road dead ends at work center.  Park near gate on right.

Distance is 1 mle round trip, easy hike.
