  • North Carolina is a waterfall hunter's paradise. We set off to see if the beautiful Turtleback Falls, above Rainbow Falls, was indeed a natural water slide in gorgeous Gorges State Park. This place is a perfect stop on a road trip through North Carolina. Located near the intersection of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, Gorges State Park features plunging waterfalls, rugged river gorges, and sheer rock faces. The park spans over 8,000 acres of temperate rainforest, hosts extraordinary biodiversity and features 26 waterfalls, the northern boundary of Lake Jocassee, and a portion of the 70-mile Foothills Trail.

    Wow - that looks amazingly fun, & fairly safe? Did you put that yellow rope up yourselves to catch onto before getting pulled downriver? I also want to compliment you on your excellent gear. You look quite protected, hopefully dry underneath your wetsuits? Good shoes with traction & comfort. Looks like you're consument travelors. Cheers! Keep warm!🥂👍

    Lots of people have died up there.
    If the water is high you can easily gets carried downstream over rainbow.
