The headwaters of the Catawba River offer stunning scenic views. Located just east of Asheville, the river flows through a picturesque forest, forming a series of waterfalls and meandering over a moss-covered riverbed within the tranquil Pisgah National Forest. This incredible day hike guides you through a shaded forest for just over two miles, unveiling waterfall after waterfall in a sunlit valley. Eventually, you’ll reach the captivating sight of Catawba Falls, where vibrant green moss and delicate water tendrils create a mesmerizing display.
