Mingo Falls
The Spectacular Mingo Falls located in
Cherokee, NC are over 120 feet high and are rated one of the most
impressive falls in Western North Carolina. The climb is steep with
approximately 170 steps that take you about 2/10ths of a mile up, then
a short easy trail provides access to the falls. The hike to these
falls is rated moderate, but for people with heart or breathing
problems it would be strenuous.

north, for 5.2 miles. Turn right onto US 19 and continue 0.5 miles.
Turn left at next traffic light in the direction of the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park (staying on US 441 N). Continue for 2.25 miles
