Waterfall Preserve

Waterfall Preserve operates a 200+ acre commercial hunting preserve in Olin, NC (Northern Iredell County), specializing in bob-white quail, chukar, and pheasant hunts. Wild quail populations in North Carolina have declined significantly, making a managed preserve the best option for consistent upland bird hunting.

Over a single season, the preserve can see upwards of 6,600 quality birds across its fields.

Situated in Olin, NC, Waterfall Preserve is within an hour of Charlotte, Boone, Blowing Rock, and Greensboro. It's 2 hours from Asheville and Raleigh, and 1-2 hours from towns across Virginia and South Carolina.

The preserve is dedicated to teaching young hunters the tradition of upland bird hunting. They actively instruct youth in field dressing and processing, aiming to sustain the sport through generations.
