East Fork Falls Access

East Fork Falls access is a roadside pull-off on East Fork Road with parking for 2-3 vehicles, offering a short 100-yard walk to a scenic 12-18 foot waterfall on the East Fork French Broad River.

The site features a swimming hole below the falls and is easily accessible year-round, making it an ideal quick stop for paddlers and anglers exploring Headwaters State Forest near Brevard.

Note that parking is extremely limited and vehicles must be completely off the pavement; slippery rocks near the water require caution.
