The following 5 waterfalls are all along US129 North of Robbinsville. The distances are from the bridge over Calderwood Lake. If you want to use the distance from the intersection of NC443 and US129, that mileage is in parentheses. Since these five are all roadside, I’m going to lump them together. I don’t know what they look like under normal conditions but on Flash Flood Friday they were all looking good.
