Hike to Moore Cove Falls
1.4 miles
150 ft gain
- Out-and-Back Trail
Added by The Outbound Collective
This relatively easy hike in Pisgah National Forest leads to a 50 foot waterfall, whose water flows over a ledge, allowing hikers to walk behind it.
The hike relatively quick and has minimal elevation gain, making it a great hike for the family or a quick stop off if you're planning to do another hike in the same day. This part of the Pisgah National Forest is filled with scenic hikes.
Once you've parked your car, cross over the stream via a small foot bridge. This flat, smooth trail leads through a lush forest for 0.7 miles (following the yellow blazes) out to the falls.

Question
Does anyone know if there are any benches along the path? Looking to take my mother in law, she has bad knees.

Easy Worth It Hike
An easy hike that takes about 40 minutes there and back to see the beautiful falls

One of my favorites
This water fall requires a short hike and therefore a lot of tourist don't make the hike so there are less people, but still a good water fall no doubt.
