It's All About the Falls

This part of North Carolina is world famous for its waterfalls. In fact, Transylvania County (one mile from Seven Falls) has more waterfalls than any other county in America.


When I first came to Seven Falls I was blown away by this waterfall, but little did I realize that this was just the beginning of the beauty that this property offers. We recently finished a large section of the nearly eight miles of continuous hiking trails that join the most spectacular natural features of our property. I was out the other day and took some pictures of a section of the Seven Falls trail system. Here are a couple of highlights:


This section of falls sits just above Monarch Park, near the eleventh hole of the Championship Course. It is a truly dramatic series of three large falls that empty into the one of the streams that will challenge golfers on nearly every hole.



As we have continued to extend our trail system, we keep discovering new falls of the property. Panther Rock Falls (seen in the background) is a sliding rock type fall that was just discovered. It is yet another example of the magnificence of this property. Our staff and Members are truly blessed to be able to enjoy the splendor of this corner of western North Carolina.

If you are interested in taking a tour of this spectacular property, drop me a line. I love having a reason to get out and experience the falls.
