Boone Fork Creek Cascade
Photo By Mark Vandyke

Title: Boone Fork Creek Cascade
State/Province/Region: North Carolina
Country: United States
Nearest Area: Boone
Nearest Town: Blowing Rock
Brief Directions: Blue Ridge Parkway near Grandfather Mountain
Description: Boone Fork is approachable, small and intimate, loaded with small cascades and details, surrounded by beautiful trees and forests, and crossed by artfully built wooden bridges. Descending directly from the peaks of Grandfather Mountain, Boone Fork Creek, a headwater stream for the Watauga River, is known for its exceptional water quality. The Conservation Trust for North Carolina (CTNC) quotes Boone Fork Creek as "the only stream in the entire Watauga River Basin that is classified as 'Outstanding Resource Waters.'" The North Carolina Division of Water Quality backs this up by classifying the water quality of Boone Fork Creek as "excellent."

Thank you very much, Lorenzo! I was pretty happy to see those clouds coming in from the west as I was quickly setting up pre-sunset to get this side of the lighthouse. Thank you! --Jim--
