Classified as a Plunge type waterfall. Well,it does that, all 286 ft. of it plunges.

Monster In The Mist2456 viewsWhitewater Falls NC just after heavy rains. The fog cleared like magic for about ten minutes allowing an old friend to get his first peak at the 400 ft. monster.

Just downstream is a duplicate but, a little harder to hike to.
