About this place
Added by Outbound
Moore Cove Falls is a relatively easy hike in Pisgah National Forest leading to the 50 foot waterfall, whose water flows over a ledge, allowing hikers to walk behind it.
The hike relatively quick and has minimal elevation gain, making it a great hike for the family or a quick stop off if you're planning to do another hike in the same day. This part of the Pisgah National Forest is filled with scenic hikes.
Once you've parked your car, cross over the stream via a small foot bridge. This flat, smooth trail leads through a lush forest for 0.7 miles (following the yellow blazes) out to the falls.

One of my all time favorites
Leisure hike to some really cool hidden spots. Slippery when near falls so just be safe and smart!

Question
Does anyone know if there are any benches along the path? Looking to take my mother in law, she has bad knees.

One of my favorites
This water fall requires a short hike and therefore a lot of tourist don't make the hike so there are less people, but still ...
