Mingo Falls

Mingo Falls is a must-sniff stop for waterfall-loving pups and their people in Cherokee, NC. One of the tallest waterfalls in the southern Appalachians, this spectacular cascade tumbles down a dramatic rock face into Mingo Creek below. The dog-friendly trail to the falls is short but steep, with a quarter-mile climb and 161 steps leading to a wooden viewing bridge where Fido can pose in front of the misty masterpiece. Local Cherokee residents and visiting hikers alike flock to this scenic spot, so keep your pup leashed and camera-ready. Visit Website
