Chasing Waterfalls in Brevard

Payton Wimbish

Tucked between waterfalls and whispering forests, Brevard is more than a mountain town, it’s a portal to wonder. Follow Highway 64 as it winds through Pisgah National Forest, and you’ll find yourself in a place where white squirrels dart through dappled sunlight and music spills from open doors downtown.

 

Brevard’s charm lies in its contrasts: ancient Appalachian roots and a vibrant arts scene, rugged trails and refined cuisine, quiet mornings and festival nights. You can start your day with a hike to Looking Glass Falls, then end it with live bluegrass and a pint of something local. The town pulses with creativity, from the Brevard Music Center’s world-class performances to the galleries and studios that line its walkable streets.

 

But Brevard also remembers. The land holds stories older than the town itself, stories of the Cherokee, of early settlers, of the forests that shaped them both. Through museums, murals, and community projects, Brevard honors its past while inviting you to be part of its present.

 

Whether you're chasing waterfalls, white squirrels, or just a slower pace, Brevard welcomes you with open arms and a mountain breeze.
