2022 UPDATE: Grassy Creek Falls is on private property and is no longer available to the public due to large crowds, trash, and traffic. However, you can see more information below for nearby waterfalls. 

Located adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway in Little Switzerland (near Spruce Pine), Grassy Creek Falls is a multi-cascade waterfall. The photo above shows the top two tiers. It's a two-mile round-trip hike: a gradual descent to the falls, so a gradual uphill hike back! While it's not a tall waterfall, it's definitely a gorgeous and tranquil setting. There is another Grassy Creek Falls - in DuPont State Forest.
