Let’s all admit that at the heart of any day trip is a wonderful destination like a waterfall or attraction – and a place to grab an awesome meal, too! We’ve found a tiny cafe in North Carolina that doubles as both so grab the keys and get ready to hit the road. And don’t worry, we’ll throw in a suggested waterfall, too.
Welcome to Cedar Mountain Cafe, which just happens to be on the South Carolina border and right outside of North Carolina’s DuPont State Forest!

Now… about that waterfall we promised you: Hooker Falls is found in DuPont State Forest (along with a handful of other great waterfalls) and since Cedar Mountain is the Gateway to DuPont Forest your day trip to Cedar Mountain Cafe can be extended to a short waterfall hike to this awesome swimming hole! Bring a towel and sunscreen and get ready to play under the waterfall.
