Plunging waterfalls, rugged river gorges, sheer rock walls and one of the greatest concentrations of rare and unique species in the eastern United States are found within Gorges State Park. An elavation that rises some 2,000 feet in only three to five miles combined with rainfall in excess of 80 inches per year creates a temperate rain forest and supports an extensive collection of waterfalls. North Carolina's newest state park will be managed to protect these nationally significant natural resources as well as to provide high quality outdoor recreation activities.<br><br><b>Directions:</b> Gorges State Park is located in Transylvania County and joins the NC/SC state line. It is approximately 45 miles southwest of Asheville. The interim park office is located in the same building as the Sapphire post office at the intersection of US 64 and NC 281 South. |
