Looking Glass Falls is one of the most popular and beautiful waterfalls in North Carolina. And it's perhaps the easiest to view (one of the few accessible roadside waterfalls, making it perfect for folks with mobility and walking challenges). The name "Looking Glass" comes from Looking Glass Rock, where water freezes on its sides in the winter and then glistens in the sunlight like a mirror or looking glass. Looking Glass Creek, which flows past the rock, is also named for its impressive natural structure.

Nice trail, just the right length for families with kids or older folks. There's some stairs and it can be a little muddy or slippery if it's been raining much. Should be pretty shady the whole way. The falls have an observation deck or you can make your way under the falls and look out from behind
