Danville's best waterfalls are across the state line at Hanging Rock State Park in North Carolina. Lower Cascade Falls is the favorite, a 35 foot curtain into a rock bowl at the end of 0.8 miles. Window Falls covers 1.6 miles and lets you look through a hole in the cliff beside the drop. Hidden Falls and Upper Cascade Falls are shorter still, and dogs are allowed on all four. Two entries marked historical are names on old maps more than places to hike.
