Waterfalls At Living Waters
by rmajor
Living Waters is a Christian retreat north of Rosman, NC, in the community of Balsam Grove. They own a stretch of land along the North Fork French Broad River. A quarter mile trail on their property gives views of 3 named waterfalls and 2 unnamed falls. Before hiking the trail, ask for permission to visit the falls, which the staff is gracious about giving. They do discourage hiking alone, so it’s best to have somebody with you.

Shoal Creek Falls
French Broad Falls and Shoal Creek Falls are right next to each other at the head of the trail. It is a rare treat to see two beautiful waterfalls so close to each other.
Continuing on down the trail rewards the hiker with many pleasant views of the river, as well as the unnamed falls.
At the end of the trail is Cathedral Falls, also known as Birdrock Falls. This the view of the top of the falls.

Hello Jim!
The smiling face of a man who loves being around waterfalls.
This beautiful flower bed on the property caught my eye.
