White Rock Falls

photo taken 10/22/2005

Location: Virginia
Directions: The parking area for this waterfall is at MP 19.9 on the Blue Ridge Parkway by the Slacks Overlook. Walk to the north end of the parking area, cross the parkway and find the trail after a short distance. Descend on the trail, crossing creeks, and you'll reach a rock outcrop with a view of the distant mountains. Continue past a switchback until you arrive under the rock outcrop and then continue straight along the base of the rock cliff instead of turning right on the trail. Follow along underneath the cliff for a few hundred feet to the falls. Pretty falls with a swimming hole at the bottom, RT of a moderate 1.5 mile hike.
