NC Waterfalls: Bent Fields Falls directions

From US 64 near Rosman, drive 4.6 miles north on NC 215 and park in the pullout on the left. Follow the obvious path and old roadbed, then descend steeply to the river. Go upstream about 50 yards past a campsite and wade across the North Fork French Broad River. Follow the path upstream under the power line for about a quarter mile to the river again. From there the river is the route: wade about a quarter mile upstream to the falls. NC Waterfalls warns the wade is deep and to turn around if the water is up at all.
