Directions:
From Bryson City, head west on US-74 for about 20 miles and turn left on Wayah Road. Go 4 miles and to a pull off on the right right at the top of the waterfall. It's less than 1/4 mile before the turn for Old River Road.

Hike Description:
The pull off is right at the top of the Cascades.
A paved footpath along the river leads to a good view of the waterfall.
The Cascades are a popular place for fishing and very experienced paddlers can kayak over them. I believe the paddlers call this Big Kahuna.
There is another decent sized cascade just about 1/10 of a mile downstream.
