Soco Falls, Cherokee, North Carolina

Most of the impressive waterfalls I hike to require lots of effort to get to--not always, but most of the time. I found this little gem while driving out of Cherokee, North Carolina on US 19. It's along the side of the road, but you can't see it from the road. It does require a small hike on a path that you have to climb out of. There is a great overlook built at the bottom so you can enjoy Soco Falls.
