Sightseeing
There is a back entrance to this park about 10 minutes away from our house. Go down Old Toxaway Road to Frozen Creek Road. Great hike!! If you want to see Rainbow Falls and Turtleback Falls, you can access those by going to the FRONT entrance to the park in Sapphire, NC. The falls are approximately 1.5-2.0 mile hike from the parking lot. BEAUTIFUL!!! We even wore the dog out hiking! :-)
