Lower Cascade Falls
About
Lower Cascade Falls is a waterfall in North Carolina, about 3 miles from the town of Danbury. It sits right beside the Lower Cascades Trail, which starts just 0.2 miles away and makes the natural way to reach the falls. For comfortable weather, aim for spring or fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury, at nearly the same elevation, show October highs around 70°F with lows near 47°F, while April runs about 70°F by day and 44°F at night. The falls make an easy anchor for a fuller outing. Indian Creek Trail and North Side Trail are both within about a mile, and climbers will find the North End Boulderfield about a mile off. For time on the water, the Little Yadkin River is just under 10 miles away.
