About this tour
Discover waterfall rappelling in the forested canyons of Pisgah National Forest on this guided Brevard Waterfall Rappel and Canyoneering adventure. The experience begins with gear sizing and a relaxed 1.5-mile hike through lush woodland to the top of Cove Creek Waterfall.
Your guide provides technical equipment and teaches you the basics of rappelling, with a training descent to help you get comfortable. Then take in the canyon scenery as you rappel down a 75-foot waterfall followed by a 45-foot drop. Along the way, wade through knee-deep creek water, scramble over boulders, and follow trails beside the waterway. A refreshing swimming hole offers a welcome pause before the hike out.
With equipment and instruction provided, this guided outing offers an engaging introduction to canyoneering in Brevard. Meet your guide near their vehicle behind the Ranger Station, then get ready to experience the rush of descending Cove Creek’s waterfalls.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Asheville
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 48% in Asheville means it ranks in the top 48% of tours in Asheville by this score.
