Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Looking Glass Falls was certainly one of the prettier and easy-to-access waterfalls we’ve seen during our time in Brevard. As a result, this 60ft falls was definitely popular.

I have to believe this also had to be one of the most photographed and painted waterfalls as we had seen numerous photos and depictions of it in galleries, restaurants, and even books, maps, and brochures scattered throughout the town of Brevard and its surroundings. Perhaps it was its shape with a slanted top and width (thanks to its reliable flow) that made this one seem so pleasing to our eyes (and those of many others, I’m sure).

Although the falls could be seen from the long pullout or car park alongside the highway 276, there were steps that led down to the creek bed where we could get more frontal views of the waterfall. Besides popularity of this falls, the only thing that really kept us from lingering longer than we did was the presence of yellow jacket wasps, which seemed to hover around the sweets tossed in the rubbish bins by the walking path.
