Connestee Falls 

6-11-07  Good news! The owner of Connestee Falls, Dick Smith of Top of the Falls Realty. will be turning ownership of the falls over to the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy so it can be made into a public park. Many thanks to Mr. Smith for allowing the public to see this wonderful place since he has owned it!. There are still details to be worked out, but hopefully the public will also get access to the area next to Batson Creek so we can see Connestee Falls in it's entirety. I'll have more as I hear or read.

Directions: Get on Hwy 276 south in the center of Brevard and drive just under 6 miles to Top of the Falls Realty parking lot on the right. If you miss the 1st turn, there's another and the parking lot is pretty big, so you shouldn't miss it. Please park to the right or out of the way of the office. It's a very short paved walk to the top of Connestee Falls. You are actually looking towards Batson Creek Falls - the view below. The two waterfalls come together at an area called Silver Slip.

If you are heading this way to DuPont State Forest, these falls are worth a look.
