You can park along US Highway 19 and then take a short hike to see the falls. The hike is steep, but fairly short and pretty easy as far as North Carolina hikes are concerned.

The out-and-back trail is about 1.5 miles long, so it won’t take you very long to get to the falls, and you’ll hear them before you see them.
