Highly recommend!! We booked a kayak and a paddle board, and went to the park the day beforehand…read moreand saw how windy it was. Feeling a little worried, I reached out hoping to at least switch the paddle board to a kayak, but wanted something dog friendly too. And boy did their service go above and beyond! Not only did they give me recommendations for the dog, they also went out early to confirm conditions were safe before we headed out so we didn't waste a trip. They ended up bringing multiple options and getting us in a double kayak with room for my corgi to come along and it was the MOST beautiful day. They even refunded the difference in cost. So thankful they made my birthday kayak trip a success!

His customer service was amazing. He made the entire experience fun from start to finish. We laughed the whole way down the river, learned so many interesting facts about the area, and always felt safe. If you're visiting with young kids, this is an amazing family adventure, and Carter made it even more memorable. After rafting, we went zip-lining, and the experience was just as enjoyable. Cole and his crew were fantastic--patient, professional, encouraging, and accommodating. They made everyone feel comfortable, whether it was their first time or not. We 100% recommend Nantahala Outdoor Center for families, couples, or anyone looking for a fun day outdoors. The staff truly made the experience exceptional. Our only suggestion would be to make tipping easier. Currently, guides can only be tipped with cash, and many people don't carry cash anymore. It would be great if the guides had a Cash App, Venmo, or QR code so guests could tip digitally using their phones. They absolutely deserve it! Overall, an unforgettable experience that we'll be recommending to everyone. Thank you, Carter, Cole, and the entire team for making our day so special!

I'm even more surprised this particular waterfall had no Yelp page! It has a commanding presence that you absolutely cannot miss AND no hike is required to view it, so you would think SOMEONE would have yelped it by now. TOXAWAY FALLS is a gigantic roadside waterfall downstream of the Toxaway Lake Dam. Nearly the entire waterfall is surrounded by either CRAZY STEEP terrain or private property and the only way to really get a head-on shot of the falls is by drone or helicopter! There is a pull-off east of the bridge that give you a decent side view, but doesn't show the depth of the falls like a frontal view would! You can also visit nearby Toxaway Cafe for lunch and an incredible, but distant side view of the falls. It's the best frontal view you're gonna get unless you happen to rent one of the nearby homes facing the falls. While Toxaway Falls looks more like an enormous water slide, topography maps show the falls begin at around 2,953 feet just below the bridge and the overall terrain drops to an elevation of 2,658 in just under a quarter of a mile for a total decline of 295 feet. The main fall drops 80 feet, from 2,920 feet to 2,840 into a pool of water then continues to cascade over significant drops for the next 1,000 feet (about 3.33 football fields). *** [ THINGS TO KNOW ] Total Hiking Distance: 0 miles (roadside) Difficulty: Easy (viewing platform) Creek Crossings: NO Elevation Gain: 0 feet Waterfall Height: about 90 feet initial drop and over 275 total with cascades. Waterfall source: Toxaway River WATERFALL ATTRACTIVENESS - 7 out of 10 TRAIL ATTRACTIVENESS - n/a Access to top of falls: YES Access to base of falls: NOT REALLY Pool of water @ base of Falls: YES Sitting areas @ base: YES if it were accessible RESTROOM FACILITIES: NO PARKING: YES (space for about 8-10 cars) *** [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] TOXAWAY FALLS is a wonder to behold. MASSIVE in size, but difficult to view in all its glory. Still a worthy stop if you happen to be passing through Hogback, NC on Hwy 64. IF you want to see its true size, click on the link below for a drone video of the falls. ENJOY! Drone video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW-Bj7jSUv0 2021 / 59
