Skinny Dip Falls Trail NC – Short Walk Near Looking Glass Rock Overlook

Trail Overview

Skinny Dip Falls is on Yellowstone Prong below the Blue Ridge Parkway, reached from the Looking Glass Rock Overlook. Tropical Storm Fred (2021) washed out the bridge, the deep pool and most of the falls; today the walk ends at an unbridged stream crossing rather than a swimming hole.
