Roaring Fork Falls (Yancey County)

The falls is located on Roaring Fork, a tributary of the South Toe River, which itself is a tributary of the Nolichuky River. The creek is located in a forest that's filled with rhododendron and eastern hemlock. The creek is abundant with freshwater snails. ==Height==

There are some disputes as to the height of the falls. Kevin Adams' book, North Carolina Waterfalls, lists the height as "about 45 ft (17 m) high". North Carolina Waterfalls lists the falls as being 100 feet (30.9 m) "long". ==Visiting the Falls==

Follow the road 0.2 miles to the gate and parking area. From here, follow the trail (passing concrete bunkers formerly used to store explosives) for 0.61 mi. (1.34 km) to a side trail that will lead to the falls in 300 ft (93 m). ==Nearby falls==
