Whitewater Falls Sign

Hey, you don't have to tell me twice! This shot was taken in 2006. I've been back but have not checked the sign to see if the number (15) has changed since.

From Wikipedia, Whitewater Falls is a series of waterfalls and cascades on the Whitewater River in North Carolina and South Carolina. Over the 3.5 mi (5.6 km) course of the river between the two falls, the Whitewater River drops 1,500 ft (460 m), and crosses the state border. Both Falls can be hiked to via the Foothills Trail or spur trails. Lookouts allow you to view both falls.

Upper Whitewater Falls - the taller of the two falls 411 ft (125 m), Nantahala National Forest, Jackson County, North Carolina

According to the U.S. Forest Service, "With a 411-foot plunge, Upper Whitewater Falls in North Carolina is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies."[1]
Lower Whitewater Falls - the shorter of the two falls 200 ft (61 m),is in Sumter National Forest, Oconee County, South Carolina

The address is Highway 281, Sapphire, NC 28774

Silver Run Falls near Cashiers, North Carolina is apparently a popular swimming hole for locals in the summer. We got there mid morning on a January day and had the place to ourselves.

Tuckasegee River ~ Bryson City, North Carolina

"Water is Life"

The Tuckasegee, known as the “Tuck,” originates around Cashiers and runs through Sylva, Dillsboro and Bryson City on its way to Fontana Lake. The name Tuckasegee may be an anglicisation of the Cherokee language word [daksiyi—takhšiyi] in the local Cherokee variety—‘Turtle Place.’ The river is dotted with stone fishing weirs built by Native Americans; this practice may have preceded the Cherokee in the area. The weirs are most easily viewed when water levels are low.
