The falls are about 12 miles east of Cherokee and 5.5 miles west of Maggie Valley Maggie Valley. If you’re driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, exit at Soco Gap (Milepost 455.7) and go about 1.5 miles west on US-19 toward Cherokee.

There’s a large pull-off with lots of parking with benches to enjoy a mountain view. A short walk with some steep stairs and walkways leads you to a viewing platform for the falls. Caution is advised, especially in misty or rainy weather.
