History of Elk Park, North Carolina
Centuries ago, Native American tribes were spread throughout the native land of the Americas. Before any white man set foot on this land, it was settled by the forefathers of tribes such as the Sioux. Elk Park Falls (also known as Big Falls) is part of the Elk River in the Pisgah National Forest. This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in North Carolina and this area of the state is known to have been Sioux land centuries ago.
