LAND OF THE
wat e r fa l l s BREVARD, NC
People are drawn to water. It speaks to us;
calms us; invigorates us. We love to be at the water’s edge, whether it be at the ocean, a lake, or a river. Or even at a waterfall. Waterfalls are magical; one of nature’s most magnificent gifts. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but they are also thought by many to generate positive vibes and make us happier. How? Waterfalls are natural ion generators – meaning the rapidly falling water produces negative ions in the air. When we take in these negative ions, our bodies produce serotonin, the chemical that alleviates stress, boosts energy, and increases feelings of happiness. The Carolina Crescent Region is full of waterfalls, with over 250 located in Transylvania County alone. Dubbed the “Land of the Waterfalls”, the Town of Brevard is in Transylvania County and is a popular hub for exploring the surrounding Pisgah National Forest. 12
