Short hike to a wonderful area for picnic. Rock cavern behind small waterfall. Can't wait to go back

The man who was cleaning up at a reat stop suggested we try this waterfall after seeing Looking Glass falls. It was sold as an easy half mile walk... not sure that is how I would describe it :) the trail was steep at times and the terrain was slightly rugged. We were the only people there that morning and we really enjoyed having the whole cavern and falls to ourselves. We were able to take some great pictures. All along the hike we saw wild flowers.. irises, trillium, violets... it was really a great time to visit.

Be forewarned: The rangers and some guidebooks says this is an "easy, 1/2 mile hike". It is more of a moderate 3/4 mile journey. I say moderate because of the steep, slick, and sometimes uneven trail. I'm not positive, but I remember it being shorter the last time (6 yrs ago) and I don't remember as steep a trail, so maybe the trail was modified since. The falls themselves are nice, with about 30% of the people we overheard saying the hike wasn't worth it, and others very appreciative. I must say that this time there was much more water coming over, so it helps when there has been a recent rain. If you decide to go into the 'cave' under the falls, be advised that the thin layer of mud is VERY slippery.

I visited with my 7 year old son as part of our "weekend hiking trip". It was not too far from Hendersonville and made for a nice ride. We stopped at Looking Glass Falls and Moore Cove before heading up to the Blue Ridge Parkway for a drive back to Route 26 and a return to the hotel.The hike is nice, with some decent elevation changes for short one-and-a-half mile hike. Nothing too drastic, just enough to let you know you are in the mountains. The hike ends at a nice waterfall where you can wander down to the river and go behind the falls. It is a neat experience for the kids . Actually I enjoyed it also as I don't think I've ever been behind a natural waterfall. It is a bit cooler than getting behind the waterfall at the hotel pools. My son enjoyed the hike and it seemed to be the perfect distance to keep him entertained without wearing him out. I consider it a good hike if I'm not being asked to carry him for the last mile. He told me it was the most awesome hike he ever did, which is great. We've not been on dozens of hikes but he has been on a few good hikes in the past so that is a positive review in my book.Worth a stop along with Looking Glass falls. I'd definitely recommend the trip if you are looking for a scenic drive with a few stops to let the kids out to get some exercise and explore nature. The only downside is the parking. It comes up on you quick when you come around the corner and on a busier weekend, like this weekend before school starts back up in the Carolinas, it fills up quick. We had to circle back to it and wait for a spot to open up so we weren't parked on the shoulder of the road ready to roll into the river.

While this waterfall does not boast a huge amount of water flow, you can walk under the waterfall into a cave-like rock formation. It is well worth the short walk to visit.

There are more waterfalls per sq. mile in this part of the country than anywhere else. Using a guide, I went out every day to visit as many as possible. So many were grand cascading down long distances. The majority were unaccessible not Moore's Cove. First the trail is great, easy and never crowded. The previous day, running to my car, I slipped and turned my ankle. I thought I would have to call off my waterfall journey in N.C.The gentle single fall over the limestone overhang onto smooth rock below, was all I needed, I soaked it for a god 30 minutes. The swelling decreased and I finished the travel plans. Moores Cove, I now call Miracle Falls. Enjoy.

The hike to Moore Cove Falls was beautiful. We walked about 10am before the crowds arrived and had the place to ourselves. The falls themselves were a little on the light side but my nephew enjoyed playing below them.

It was a nice easy hike to the falls, although a few times we weren't sure if we were headed to the right place. The kids enjoyed being able to walk down and under the falls and that wasn't too bad to navigate either. Definitely see this one while in the forest.

Nice pulloff area and steps at the beginning of the trail It did get a little steep at times but not bad. .7 mile hike with bridges to cross. Would have appreciated a bench at the top to sit, rest, and just to view.

Thanks to TripAdvisor and the people who post on it. My family planned a day at Pisgah National Forest and because of the post & pictures, we stopped at this location and I knew what to expect and how to dress for the moderate hike. This is a free attraction minutes from Sliding Rock & Looking Glass Falls and a must see! We had a nice family hike to a beautiful waterfall. Successful family day!
