North Carolina Waterfalls John F. Blair, Publisher Since its original publication in 1994, North Carolina Waterfalls has been through numerous printings, attracting many thousands of readers who valued its clear road and trail directions and its photography tips. But author-photographer Kevin Adams hasn’t rested on his laurels. For this revised and expanded edition, Adams examined every single USGS topographical map for North Carolina—hundreds of them—and logged more miles by car and on foot than he cares to recall. The result is a guidebook containing three times as much material as the original. North Carolina Waterfalls now describes over 600 waterfalls and showcases them with over 100 color and black-and-white photographs. If you’re visiting the northwestern part of the state, you may know of Linville Falls and Crabtree Falls, but you’re less likely familiar with the beautiful Craborchard Falls and Bard Falls. If you’re in the southwestern mountains, by all means check out the popular Whitewater Falls and Looking Glass Falls, but don’t miss the little-known Skinny Dip Falls and Alarka Falls. And thanks to Adams’s research, you’ll find some pleasant surprises in the vicinity of eastern towns like Fayetteville and Rocky Mount, too. From its comprehensive coverage to its helpful beauty ratings to its emphasis on stewardship of our natural resources, North Carolina Waterfalls remains the definitive guide to its subject.
Reviews “I visited the mountains last week (mid May) and with the help of this book I was able to find some really beautiful waterfalls. I never would have known they were there if not for the book. The directions were clear and easy to follow, and the information on where to park was extremely helpful. The best part about it was the fact that we had every waterfall to ourselves. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys unspoiled waterfalls.” “Any outdoors-oriented traveler planning a journey to North Carolina will find North Carolina's Waterfalls: A Hiking And Photography Guide packed with details on how to visit the area. Many of the state's best waterfalls receive little tourist attention: North Carolina Waterfalls remedies the lack of information, offering 'beauty ratings', accessibility details, maps, directions, and more. A lovely, comprehensive guide for destination-oriented outdoors adventurers.”
