I really wanted to hike and visit a waterfall during our visit to Flat Rock but unfortunately it rained most of our trip.This was a great little hike (6/10 mile RT) for our last day on the way out of town. Beautiful trail not to mention a nice drive to the park. Thought maybe $3 instead of $5 per adult... More

This is a nice place to take young kids for a walk in the woods to introduce them to nature... only approx 1/4mile to the big falls... which is very do-able. They have picnic tables, and out houses... nice trail.. but not much more then that.. cost is $5 for adults... $1 for kids 6yrs up... free to anyone younger...... More

If you are interested in North American wildflowers, you should visit this historic place to see a multitude of them. Although a few have been planted, most are local and native to the area. The Tryon Gardening Club deserves a huge thank you for preserving this location and keeping it open to the public for such a small fee. I... More

Our friends took us here when we visited them. It was a nice hour or so excursion into the woods. I loved hearing the water rushing down the mountain--so peaceful. I would love to have sat and listened for longer. $5 entry fee per person seemed a little high though. More

It is so nice that this privately owned falls is available for guests to view. I think that. The knowledge that the property is kept up by real people and not the government is amazing. They do a great job. The hike was moderately easy and the views were great. We packed a snack lunch and ate it back at... More

This hike is easy for just about anyone with hand rails and benches along the way. There are tables at the falls, so take a picnic and enjoy the scenery! The entrance fee($5 for adults adnd $3 for children) is used for upkeep and conservation so don't stress over it. There was a shelter and public toilets as well. More

Our family of four adults visited Pearson's Falls on a beautiful spring Sunday. The walk is easy to the lovely falls. There are fences and rails and signs. Wildflowers abound, and there are many varities. However, considering that we spent $20 for a hour's visit, and we could have seen the same on a hike from the Blue Ridge Parkway... More

Pearson's falls is a beautiful waterfall set back in the woods outside of Saluda, NC. It is accessed by the "family trail" which is appropriately named. The approximate .5 mile hike to the base of the falls is easy. There are a number of benches along the way so you can stop and rest or just sit and enjoy the... More
