High Falls Dam Release at Lake Glenville – April 26, 2025

Experience the incredible power and beauty of High Falls, also known as Cullowhee Falls, during a scheduled dam release from Lake Glenville in Jackson County, North Carolina. Captured during the April 26, 10 AM release, this video shows the dramatic surge of water pouring over the falls — a sight that's only seen a few times each year when the dam opens. We arrived early at the trailhead around 7:50 AM and reached the falls by 9:00 AM to secure the perfect spot to film the event. High Falls is normally a gentle cascade, but during a release, it transforms into a roaring, breathtaking waterfall. If you're planning to visit, check the dam release schedule ahead of time and prepare for a moderate hike to reach the viewing area.
