Pearson's Falls

This 90-foot waterfall may be privately owned by a garden club, but don’t let that fool you—what unfolds here is a public moment of awe, curated with care and just a touch of formality. There’s a small admission fee, a quiet reminder that beauty, even when natural, is often managed and mediated. Nestled between Saluda and Tryon, it’s worth the pause—especially if you’re tracing I-26 to or from South Carolina. And just ten miles away, Shunkawauken Falls waits by the roadside, unbothered and unassuming, reminding you that sometimes wonder doesn't need a gate.
