Found Bald River Falls by accident when we were riding the area and staying in Murphy. It was a cool, drizzly day so we went exploring in the 4Runner and left the bikes behind. We took Hanging Dog Road out of Murphy and drove at least 20 miles of unpaved roads until we came to the other end of River Road and followed it to the Cherohala passing the waterfall on the way. We only saw about a dozen cars until we started to get close to the falls. There is a cool campground in the middle of nowhere right at the NC/TN state line.
