Visiting the Falls

The falls is viewable on the side of the road. To view the falls, from the intersection of NC 197 and Dillingham Rd. in Barnardsville and go 2.2 miles on Dillingham Rd. to a fork in the road. Take the left fork and go 2.7 miles, when the road turns to gravel and becomes Forest Road 74. Go 2.8 miles more to see a small sliding waterfall. 1.3 miles later, you will come up on Walker Falls.[1] You may then go 4.7 miles further down Forest Road 74 to the parking area for Douglas Falls.

If you are coming from the Blue Ridge Parkway, follow Forest Road 63 (if it is not gated) to Dillingham Road. Turn right, and in 1.4 miles you will reach the point where the road becomes Forest Road 74. Continue following the directions as above.

Note: Dillingham Rd. only has one way in and out. If you do not plan to visit the falls further down Dillingham Rd. you'll need to go back out the way you entered.

gollark: > On Sunday, baidicoot declared that the first demo would be released soon-ish (but not now). Although the engine was ready, some minor features like controls needed to be added before it met with the lord's approval. But, due to baidicoot's phenomenal genius, the demo was finished in just a few hours, uploading “epeleptic demo” to his GitHub at 2020-04-12 16:48 UTC+0100. This was the first release of EWO, v0.1.0.0, also known as “EPILEPSY DEMO”.
gollark: I agree.
gollark: True, true.
gollark: I've read two and heard of one other dystopia novel built around the "disputes settled with single combat" thing, which is kind of a bad sign for the idea of allocating resources that way.
gollark: But... otherwise yes.
