Bird Rock Falls

Balsam Grove, NC

Bird Rock Falls, also called Cathedral Falls, is a sliding cascade on the North Fork of the French Broad River near Balsam Grove in Transylvania County. It is known for the towering rock bluff that frames it, creating a cathedral-like setting, and sits on private land owned by Living Waters Ministry, which allows public viewing via a short, easy walk off NC-215.
