Coffee Hike to Pisgah Waterfalls & Natural Waterslide
Pisgah National Forest - Cove Creek Falls
About the Hike:
This hike is one of our personal Pisgah favorites because the trail is less popular than many of the other guided hiked. You get to enjoy coffee in a “secret” waterfall spot before we hike on to see a Cove Creek Falls and then visit a natural waterslide on the way back - it’s a great swimming hole so bring a bathing suit if the weather is warm enough!
Fitness Level:
Moderate - some uphill climbs but nothing crazy
Trail Conditions:
Mix of gravel trail and dirt. There is a steeper, muddy trail down the side of the waterfall over rocks and roots. You should feel comfortable walking on uneven terrain to enjoy this hike.
distaNce:
3 miles roundtrip
What You’ll DO:
- We will meet at the entrance to Pisgah national Forest - about 40 minutes from AVL and you will follow me to the trail head - about 10 minutes from the meeting area
- From there I'll show my my favorite spot to sit by a waterfall and we'll make coffee together with the sound of the falls.
- After that, we'll hike to one of the prettiest waterfalls along a streamside trail, and then head down to the bonus waterfall. It's actually a natural waterslide so if the weather is warm feel free to bring a swim suit - its a super fun swimming spot
- Then it's an easy stroll back to the cars to end our adventure.
