You can no longer drive under it.
[Vince LaMonica, 01/14/2020]The boulder that was blocking the road has been finally removed. You can once again drive behind the falls and not get your car wet. The big boulder fell from up above the falls several years ago, and blocked the road. The Forestry Service did not have enough money to remove it, so there it sat until a local builder volunteered to come in and blow it up into smaller pieces. They were then able to truck the smaller pieces away.
I've been visiting that beautiful area for the last 45 years and I'm glad to see open again. By the way, be sure to ask the locals about the bear encounter at the top of Bridal Veil Falls.

Visited over Labor Day weekend with a group of Mini Coopers. The drive was open so we could get behind the falls. Very unique and beautiful spot to visit.
[Jeff Causey, 09/07/2008]We were in the area and visited Bridal Veil falls. They have closed the drive-through, but you can still walk under it!
[Tara Humphrey, 04/14/2008]The drive-through road is open again. This fall is actually in Highlands, not Cashiers.
