8 Spots for the Perfect Instagram Photo
Looking for your next photo op? Wendell Falls has no shortage of aesthetic backdrops for you and your friends to get the perfect shot and elevate any feed. Here's our top 8 social-worthy spots in the community!
1. The Pigs at Wendell Falls
A party of delightful, colorful pig sculptures, including one giant flying pig, the official mascot of Treelight Square named Dell, would be tickled pink to pose in a picture or two! Dell and the pigs recently made a move over near Whitewing Lane and they’d love some visitors at their new digs. But let it be known – Dell loves to hog the camera! (Photo courtesy @jennandthegirls)
2. Starbucks Mural
Whether you’re posing with your favorite coffee in hand or want to showcase the artistic flair of the community, the mural at Starbucks adds a pop of positivity to any photo! Hear the special story behind this message from the artists here.
3. Rocky Falls Park
After a day of activity, the overlook at Rocky Falls Park is the prime place for serenity – and a beautiful picture! The grey stones against vivid green trees are romantic and adventurous – ideal for couple photos or family portraits. If you’re here in the fall, this spot is bursting with vivid red, orange and yellow leaves—one of the many reasons we love the seasons in North Carolina. (Photo courtesy @iammrperry)
4. The Farmhouse
The Farmhouse is iconic at Wendell Falls, inside and out! The interior makes for a one-of-a-kind backdrop as it’s made from rock recycled on-site, while the outside provides a rustic ambiance. So beautiful, in fact, that we regularly have prom groups and wedding pictures taken here. (Photo courtesy @megansdesignedlife)
5. Tunnel Mural
Tucked away beyond the cul-de-sac on Cascade Falls Lane you'll find the tunnel underpass, with nature-inspired art by The Greenway Artist. This is a great location to play with shadows and depth to portray different moods in your photos.
6. Farmhouse Pier
After stopping by the Farmhouse Café for a quick treat and food photo-op, take a walk on the pier behind the Farmhouse! A beautiful sunrise or sunset reflecting off a body of water always makes for an aesthetic snapshot. And make sure to look closely—turtles can often be spotted basking in the sun on the pillars.

7. Tobacco Barn
While the Tobacco Barn is a beautiful structure to pose in front of, it also holds a lot of historical significance for our area. Learn more about the Tobacco Barn to share with your followers here. (Photo courtesy @charliewithmilo)
8. Selfie Cloud Bench
The solar-powered selfie cloud bench located on Cedar Dam Lane is the perfect place to end your photoshoot at Wendell Falls! Pose for a picture inside the cloud while you conveniently recharge your phone. (Photo courtesy @rblairhinkle)
