North Carolina
Bridal Veil FallsBridal Veil Falls is a 60-foot roadside curtain on a Cullasaja River tributary, 2.5 miles west of Highlands on the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway. For generations it was the only North Carolina waterfall you could drive behind — the old road bend tucked under the curtain is still there, but cars were stopped a few years back. You can still walk behind it. Wheelchair-accessible from the pullout. Best after rain; thin in dry stretches.
