Moore Cove Falls in March 2009

Moore Cove Falls is a cute little waterfall. It’s just overshadowed by other waterfalls that are much larger and showier that can be found in the vicinity. The much larger Looking Glass Falls is very close by. Still, if you’re in Transylvania County looking for waterfalls, Moore Cove Falls is a good choice to stop and visit. It’s easy to visit and the hike to the falls is quick, fun, and not too strenuous.

And as I’m writing this, I’ve discovered there’s another smaller waterfall along the same trail to Moore Cove Falls, just a ways further…somebody’s decided to call it Little Moore Cove Falls.

Directions:

1. From Brevard, drive north on US-276.
2. After about 5.5 miles you’ll pass the pullout/parking for Looking Glass Falls. About a mile past that pullout is the parking for Moore Cove Falls.
3. There will be a wooden information sign on the right side of the road indicating the beginning of the trail. If you go over the bridge that is right near there, you’ve gone too far.
4. From the trail head, enjoy the fun trail to the falls!

Accessibility: 8/10 (easy/moderate)
Height: 50′
Length of Hike: 1.2 miles round-trip
