Water Flows from Two Falls

There are actually two waterfalls here, near Brevard, each on a separate creek. At the overlook, stand at the top of Connestee Falls on Carson Creek. Across the gorge, Batson Creek Falls cascades down to meet Connestee. The now-joined creeks squeeze through a cleft known as Silver Slip, but can’t see it from the upper overlook. Can see Batson Creek Falls pretty well from the overlook, but not Connestee.
