Bridal Veil Falls, Highlands, North Carolina
Bridal Veil Falls is conveniently located en route to another incredible roadside waterfall: Dry Falls. While this one is much smaller, you drive right past it, so there’s no harm in stopping for a quick photo op.
This waterfall’s claim to fame is that it’s the only waterfall in the state that you can drive underneath!
The 45-foot fall is best viewed after a heavy rainstorm, though, because it looks more like a trickle after a prolonged period of drought. July and August are your best bet if you wish to see a solid flow.
After viewing the falls, keep driving for another mile along Highway 64 until you come across the parking lot for Dry Falls.

You should also include Gooseberry Falls in Minnesota on the North Shore!!! It’s as scenic as any others you mentioned!!!!
Hi Kevin! Thanks so much for your feedback. We’ll be sure to include Gooseberry Falls on our next list.
Absolutely! But most falls here require hiking.
You really need to come on out to the Pacific Northwest!!!! Some of biggest, ‘right on the road’ waterfalls are in the Pacific Northwest..
Beautiful, awe inspiring, Multnomah Falls is only 30.5 miles east of the Portland (OR) Airport – PDX. It’s on I 84. You don’t need to leave your car if you don’t want to (they do have rest rooms if you need a pit stop 🙂 For an added treat, just look at the other side of I 84 and you’ll see the gorgeous majestic Columbia River (border between Oregon and Washington) on it’s trip to the Pacific Ocean.
Bald River Falls near Tellico, TN. A rocky stream is beside the road all the way up. there’s a trout hatchery near the top. great trout fishing all the way down. We take picnics.
Hi Cynthia! Wow, that sounds amazing. We’ll include it on our next list!
What about Taughannock Falls on Cayuga Lake in New York? Highest falls in eastern U.S. You can drive right up to the overlook. Your opening photo appears to be it.
Hey Michael! Thank you for the tip. We’ll be sure to include it next time!
