Elk River Falls, North Carolina -- 4K Cinematic

Elk River Falls is a very popular waterfall that is also VERY dangerous. We visited during a huge rainstorm and it was amazing! Elk River Falls is tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, near Elk Park North Carolina. The trail itself was only .5 miles round trip. Elk River Falls was pumped full of water since a rainstorm had moved through the area only days before and it was even raining during most of this video. This trail is pretty well-worn and flat, however, there is a quick descent if you want to go to the base of the falls.

A long-time popular swimming hole in the summer, its danger is masked by its beauty. Elk River Falls is large and powerful. Most deaths happen with people jumping off the top and plunging into the falls to only be caught in the undertow and held down. In the most recent death, the body did not resurface for almost an hour. Wear proper hiking shoes, bring a friend, and download a trail map. Exercise Caution! AT YOUR OWN RISK!
