Riders Falls is somewhat of an anomaly. While it’s certainly not rare to find waterfalls of this size in Piedmont North Carolina, Riders is unexpected. You’re driving along the backroads of backroads, and suddenly, boom! There’s a waterfall!
Don’t get too excited, though. It’s on private property on a very small stream. You can view it okay from the road, but it’s not exactly mind-blowing.
