Jackson

The waterfall is on the west side of US 441, about 4.6 miles from the stoplight in Dillsboro at Haywood Road.

This waterfall is right beside US 441, but most of the time it’s not worth slowing down for. However, if you can catch it in times of good flow I recommend it. I got lucky on the day I made the photo here. The water level was good, the lighting perfect, and the spring foliage was showing off. I must have driven by this waterfall hundreds of times and this is the best I’ve ever seen it.

You can view it from your car if you like. The driveway beside the falls is private.

The waterfall is located beside US 441 between Dillsboro and Franklin.

Get Your Bearings

In the early 2010s, there was a sign here calling the waterfall Sleepy Hollow Falls. Years before that, there was a different sign here, but I don’t remember what name was on it.
