Thurston Hatcher Falls is a magnificent, 75-foot cascade in Cullowhee, North Carolina that can be viewed from a side trail off the Cullowhee Falls North Trail. However, the waterfall itself is on private property, so getting up close and personal with it requires permission. Nonetheless, to see it, the hike is about 1.7 miles from the orange gate by the parking area. The side trail will appear on the right and is fairly noticeable, though there is no signage. Remember, the waterfall itself is on private property, so do not trespass. If you choose to continue the hike, you will eventually reach Cullowhee Falls.
