Marvel At A 150-Foot Roadside Waterfall When You Take A Scenic Drive On White Oak Mountain Road In North Carolina
What could be an easier way to chase waterfalls than finding one that is literally only steps from the road? When you visit North Carolina’s extraordinary Shunkawauken Falls, you won’t even need to leave the car to gawk at its sheer size and magnificent beauty. Load up the car and prepare for a wild ride, because as easy as it is to SEE this waterfall, the twisting and winding road leading to the waterfall adds another level adventure to this day trip.



Of course, there's a huge pipe now underneath the pavement that allows Shunkawauken Falls to continue pouring down the mountain.

By far, it's not the tallest waterfall in the state, but it is one of the most accessible.

Most people take the opportunity to get out and appreciate the views.
