{{main|Bridal Veil Falls (Macon County)}}
'''Bridal Veil Falls''' is a {{convert|45|ft|m|adj=on}} [[waterfall]] located in the [[Nantahala National Forest]], southeast of [[Franklin, North Carolina|Franklin]]. With a short curve of roadway located behind the falls, it has the distinction of being the only waterfall in the state that one can drive a vehicle under. Bridal Veil Falls flows on a tributary of the [[Cullasaja River]] through the Nantahala National Forest. The falls flows over an overhanging bluff; visitors may walk behind the falls and remain dry when the water flow is low. During periods of drought, the stream may nearly dry up, though visitors will get wet if the water flow is moderate or high. To avoid this, visitors may drive behind the falls.

Bridal Veil Falls is located on the side of [[U.S. Highway 64]] {{convert|16.5|mi|km|0}} southeast of [[Franklin, North Carolina|Franklin]] and {{convert|2.3|mi|km|0}} north of [[Highlands, North Carolina|Highlands]]. Highway 64 originally used the curve of roadway behind the falls exclusively so that all traffic went behind them; however, this caused problems with [[ice|icing]] of the roadway during freezing weather. Hwy. 64 has since been re-routed around the front of the falls. There is a parking area on the side of the road, where visitors can park and view the falls as well. In 2003, a massive boulder slid off the left side of the falls, blocking that side of the drive-under completely. However, in July 2007, that boulder was removed by a local developer. The road under the falls is now free of obstruction.<ref name="NC Waterfalls Bridal Veil">[http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/bridal_veil1.htm NCWaterfalls.com Bridal Veil Falls]</ref>
