Cascade Falls is a great place to take kids for a short hike to see a beautiful water fall. Cascade Falls can be found in the E.B. Jeffress Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 272. The park has picnic tables, so why not pack a picnic and make a nice time of it.
The trial to the Falls starts at the restrooms. It is about a mile around trip and is an easy hike to go on. My niece and her husband recently took their 8 year old and 3 year old to go see the falls. The area around the falls has stone walls which acts as barriers, but you should keep an eye on your kids just to be on the safe side and don't let them sit on the stone walls.
So if you are looking for something to do this Memorial Day Weekend, whether you live in Western NC or just visiting, take a little drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway and visit Cascade Falls. It is an easy hike with a beautiful reward at the end of it!
Simply loving all the God-made beauty that surrounds us!
