Connestee Falls, Brevard NC

Just south (about 6 miles) of Brevard on US-276, the twin falls (on your right) are about 110 feet high and are easily reached by a staired walkway. In fact, the walkway, up to a vantage point from which you can view the falls, is very nice, level, brick-paved, and wheel-chair accessible. Connestee Falls are on private land and are accessible free of charge through the generosity of the owner. The Cherokees have legends about many of the waterfalls in Cherokee country. In a story, Connestee Falls is named after a Cherokee princess who had been married to an Englishman. When her husband deserted her to return to his own people, she jumped off the falls to her death. For more information, phone: 828-885-2610.
