(WSPA) – Spring rains can help a waterfall to roar! The amount of water influences the sound, volume and look of the falls.
A high-flow waterfall ushers through at least 200 gallons per hour per inch of spillway.
There are 4 waterfalls in the corridor of falls at Dupont State Recreational Forest; you can check them all out free of charge!
Visitors are urged to heed warnings and obey rules as emergencies can be commonplace when people insist on climbing the slick rocks around the water.
Underestimating the swift currents can sweep people or animals away. While it’s been a soggy spring, springtime is normally a fairly dry period in Transylvania County, according to Jordan Luff, who is a Management Forester with North Carolina.
Any significant rain, or rain over several days, will change the overall experience at the waterfalls.
