Since it became a State Park, there's now an entrance with off-road parking.

It's on NC 105 just north of the little shopping center that has the McDonald's,
Lowe's Foods and the ABC store.

This was taken while the entrance was still under construction. It's now a
nicely landscaped, paved road with a pretty sign.
ODD though ... I searched Flickr for "Grandfather Mountain State Park Entrance"
hoping someone had posted a photo that included the new sign and none of the
results have anything to do with North Carolina.
There's Mann Gulch and West LA and the Borderlands Estate in Massachusetts ...
go figure.

Honestly, I don't remember the name, I would have to look at a map.
But its one of the ones off the curvy highway there, you have to park,
cross the road and go down a kind of a steep drop then there are a
series of very nice waterfalls along the way. Quite peaceful and
visually stunning there.
