Waterfall Hikes Near Pinehurst, NC
within 50 miles
Golf pays the bills in Pinehurst, and the surrounding Sandhills are longleaf pine over deep sand, which explains why only four falls turn up inside fifty miles. The one you can hike to is Lanier Falls, where the Cape Fear pushes over rock ledges in Raven Rock State Park. Count on five miles of walking and about 300 feet of gain, with dogs welcome. The other three entries survive mostly as names on the map.
