Soco Falls – Hidden by the road

Soco falls is a beautiful, double waterfall on the edge of the Cherokee Indian Reservation, located near Maggie Valley. Its one among the most lovely waterfalls, by the Blue Ridge parkway – just 1.5 miles south of Soco Gap @ Milepost 455.7. Look for the small roadside parking area on the left of the road. It is easy to miss, since there is just one tiny sign.

This view requires a short hike. It is not a cake walk, but not super hard either. You need to be careful as it is steep and a bit slippery, especially when wet. But the adventure is well worth the view, wouldn’t you agree :)

  2. Gorgeous falls. We’re taking some out of town guests to see My Fair Lady in February in Raleigh and will probably show them these falls too. Anyone else seeing the North Carolina Symphony at the Duke Energy Center: https://seatnerds.com/things-to-do-in-raleigh-north-carolina/the-duke-energy-center/. Should be a good show.
