NC Waterfalls: No Name Cove Falls

No Name Cove Falls is a tall series of cascades and free falls, over 100 feet in total, on a small tributary of Looking Glass Creek in the Pisgah Ranger District. Start on FS 5032 across the road from the parking area. In 80 yards, just before a gate, take the side path on the right and climb a little over 0.25 miles to rejoin FS 5032 at a wildlife clearing. Cross the road, walk 400 feet to the upper end of the clearing, and take the faint path from the middle of the clearing 0.15 miles to a point just below the falls. Reaching the base of the main upper section needs a difficult scramble.
