Soco Falls is a beautiful, 30-foot set of twin, cascading waterfalls located on the edge of the Cherokee Indian Reservation in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. It is the convergence point of Soco Creek and Brush Creek. Previously, this waterfall was easily viewable via a short scramble trail from a roadside pull-off. The area has since been developed to have a parking lot with a short trail leading to the falls. Soco Falls is named after Soco Gap, which Cherokee Indians would use as a reservation entrance and ambush location when hunting. The above video is the current state of the falls, while a 2019 video is shown below.
