Tapoco – The Graham County 911 Center received a call around 1:25 p.m. Saturday that a 65-year-old male had fallen off the Yellow Creek Falls Trail, located off U.S. 129 North. The caller also advised that the man would need to be carried out.

Thanks to the quick work of the National Wild Turkey Federation and C&W Contracting, county residents and visitors now have a safer way to travel the 0.3-mile trail to Yellow Creek Falls. Photo courtesy of Cody Carpenter/Contributing Photographer
